the greatness of president bush
1. In the first nine months after the year 2000 election, during which Al Gore attempted to steal the American Presidency through the courts, George Bush conducted himself with responsibility and restraint.
2. When the crew of an American plane were held hostage by the Chinese government, President Bush resolved the crisis peacefully and effectively.
3. He led us through Nine Eleven.
4. He did not allow Al Qaeda and its allies the sort of soft landing get out of jail free card President Clinton had given them. The writer Mark Steyn has cited President Bush as having dismissed Clinton's policy on Islamic terror with the following remark: "He shoots a two million dollar missile into a ten dollar tent and hits a camel in the butt."
5. President Bush gave the Taliban and Al Qaeda the war they still can't quite believe. The American army, along with the Brits, the Australians, and a few others, swept into Afghanistan prompting Osama Bin Laden's now famous order of heroic Islamic defiance: "Run away."
6. President Bush was responsible for liberating Iraq from Saddam Hussein's family murderocracy.
7. When CNN, Time Magazine, the Washington Compost, The New York Times, NBC, CBS and ABC through their quisling defeatism and short term politically motivated opportunism, had turned many Americans against the Iraq war, President Bush stood firm. After years of relying on soft soap Clinton era Generals, he finally found a military genius called Petraeus, who once more set about giving the Jihadis a war they still can't quite believe. When CNN and its cohort of media appeasers, wanted to surrender Iraq to Al Qaeda and Iran, President Bush defied them. He didn't assign Petraeus to the job. He turned him loose. Petraeus was a general who didn't believe in allowing Muslim terrorists to murder American troops and then retreat into Syria or Pakistan for rest and relaxation. Soon Jihadi safe houses were going boom. Petraeus was the nearest thing we've seen to a latter day Patton. A real warrior. But he would have been nothing without President Bush, the latter day Churchill.
8. When North Korea revealed that it had reneged on a no nukes deal negotiated with President Jimmy Carter during the Clinton Administration, President Bush did not engage in mutual recriminations with the ex Presidents. Carter had been acting as an envoy for President Clinton when the Accord with North Korea was signed. Like everything else produced by Carter, the agreement with North Korea proved worthless. Carter's clownish incompetence had allowed the North Koreans to receive American aid while the North Koreans simply went ahead and developed the bomb anyway. President Bush now insisted that other countries in the region had an equal interest in preventing North Korea from developing and using nuclear weapons. He insisted on six nation talks instead of just a one on one deal negotiated between the USA and North Korea. While the anti American media like to crow that America wants to force its imperial ambitions on the world, President Bush quietly maintained his insistence that Japan, Russia, China, and South Korea should also be involved in any negotiations with North Korea. This strategy prevented regional powers from turning the North Korean situation into an America versus the rest gambit. It meant the other countries were left twisting America's arm to help them secure North Korean nuclear disarmament. It was an honorable, courageous and ingenious policy.
9. President Bush resisted attempts by elements within the biotechnology industry to begin harvesting stem cells from aborted babies for scientific experiments. The pressures on President Bush were immense. The biotechnology companies used their media contacts to propagandise the general public with grandiose claims about how these stem cells might offer cures for Alzheimers, cancer, and everything else besides. President Bush stood strong against them. Shortly afterwards the scientific community revealed that it could fulfill its experimental stem cell requirements using cells harvested from adult human beings. There was no need to kill anyone or abort any human being. The atheistic media who had portrayed President Bush as an inhuman monster for daring to oppose the agenda of biotechnology companies, never deigned to apologise.
10. His foreign policy successes were many. After President Bush liberated Iraq from the Saddam Hussein family murderocracy, the President of Libya Colonel Gadaffy (known to his friends as the Mad Dog of the Middle East) suddenly decided to go public about his own country's nuclear weapon's programme and ended it. Gadaffy fessed up. It is unlikely that the Mad Dog of the Middle East would ever have admitted to his attempts to develop nuclear weapons if President Bush had not intervened in Iraq. It's unlikely that if Gadaffy got nuclear weapons, he would have restrained himself from using them. In Columbia, thanks to the support of President Bush and America, the democratic government of President Uribe finally got the upper hand on the drug dealing terrorists of the Farc revolutionary movement. President Bush's support for Columbia, eventually led directly to the rescue of Ingrid Betancourt and other hostages after years in Farc captivity. In the Philippines, President Bush helped the government keep its own Al Qaeda terrorists on the back foot.

Isn't it odd that I have to come to Ireland to hear something nice about our President?
Meantime the moonbats here are marching in support of Hamas and carrying signs with swastikas on them. Is there no place safe from these loons??
I'm going to miss President Bush and a first lady that is the epitome of grace and class.
Look at their replacements. It's actually depressing!
How about "who is the epitome...."
As I listened to his farewell address to the press, I thought about his parents. They are good people, and his father is such a decent man but not respected until later years. (Clinton especially spoke warmly of him as a mentor.)
Thank you, James.
Ade, I think the world is going to miss President Bush.
MissJ, The stock in trade of CNN, NBC, CBS and ABC is to undermine Republican Presidents while they're in office. Once they're out of office, CNN and co seek to regain broad public credibility by favouring the Ex Prezzes with more upbeat assessments.
Gen, always a pleasure.
