In the face of gale force political winds, President George W Bush marches on. I just cannot help but admire that. In an age of can't do cowardice, Bush's courage and perseverance is quite refreshing.
Even on the border/immigration issue, I truly believe his heart is in the right place. (Though his head- most certainly- is not). I am not, nor have ever been, the defender of the indefensible and George W Bush's Amnesty bill is that and more.
In fact, I find myself in bewildered awe that the George W Bush who is so hell bent on pardoning and legalizing 12-20 million criminal invaders (the clear will of the people be damned), is the very same George W Bush that is prosecuting the war on terrorism precisely the way it needs to be prosecuted.
It is, in a word, astonishing.
30,000 additional troops have surged into Iraq and we are letting no moss grow on their feet. General Petraeus has implemented a huge counter offensive and counter-insurgency strategies that have never failed. They are already bearing fruit- big time.
Attacks in Baghdad and Anbar province are way down and the Insurgents (terrorists) are being put to flight. Every war in history has had it's historic turning point and you are witnessing this one. The Al Queda terrorists (and their coward accomplices at home) gambled that persistent, horrific violence, day after day, week after week, month after month, would cause George W Bush to lose his resolve and start reducing troop levels or pull out all together.
They were sorely mistaken. With the wind in his face, Bush has done the courageous and right thing to do- dig his heels in and ramp up the fight, taking it directly to the enemy.
Make no mistake, history will reward such valor. That's why I love George W Bush.
He is wrong on border security and immigration and noone is fighting harder than me to stop that horrendous bill. Yet, I cannot lose respect for George W Bush as long as he stands, like Stonewall Jackson, against the enemy too many have lost the resolve to fight.
