Someone cue Jon Bon Jovi. During his fourth consecutive “War on Terror” speech, President Bush reverted to his rhetoric of 2001-2003.
I know Democrats believe this is arrogant. I know they believe this bullies and alienates the world. I also remember a Time Magazine cover which hailed the end of the Bush Doctrine.
I know I am in the minority and I am speaking only for myself… I want defiant leadership. I want someone who acts bravely. I want someone stares down the enemy without hesitation.
I grant you people aren’t used to being talked to in this manner. However, people aren’t used to being talked to in this manner. In the war on terror, timidity is dangerous. There is no reason to speak with world leaders quietly for fear that talking to loudly would wake up sleeping terrorists… Turn on the television in four days… They are awake.
Again, I know I am in the minority. Yet, I remember a time when I was not. I remember a day when the President reminisced about an old Wild West poster. There wasn’t a person in America that didn’t point to their television and say, “That’s our guy.”
