Then "we" have a problem. However, I voted for him twice. He says what he stands for, says what he is going to do and does it. When he ran for re-election he said he was going to "stay the course" and he won. He stayed the course. If "we" didn't want him to stay the course "we" shouldn't have voted for him. He changed strategy after the Congressional elections, but his plan is the same. If "we" think his plan is wrong, "we" need to force him to change it. But "we" (in this case Congress) has "no balls"! So Bush will continue with his plan until the end.

Have any of the Bushteam's ballsy declarations about Iraq been correct? I can't think of one.

We removed Sadaam from power.
Iraqi people formed an intrim government.
Iraqi people held elections, adopted a Constitution.
We are fighting the war on terror in other nations.
We have terrorists on the run.
Sadaam was held accountable for his crimes.
Need more?

The thing that flat-out terrifies me about Bush is that he'll do what he believes is right regardless of consequences and popular opinion.

Being a leader takes guts. I am happy some of our leaders have had guts to do what was right rather than what was popular, like Lincoln.

This is the problem with a black-and-white worldview, ace. It's all too likely you end up steering the plane into the ground at full throttle.

Correct. You land the baby, or you crash it - with full throttle attitude! Ain't no room for half-stepp'n.
