At random: Fleet Admiral Halsey in a book called "The Admirals" when asked "What is the ultimate strategic weapon that is bringing the enemy to its knees? Halsey's reply "If I had to give credit to the instruments and machines that won us the war in the Pacific, I would rank them in this order: SUBMARINES, FIRST; RADAR, SECOND; PLANES, THIRD AND BULLDOZERS FOURTH."

After midnight here in West Oz and have just finished watching President Bushes final press conference, not the world's greatest orator but certainly a man of principle and belief.

Am guessing that "disappointed" is President speak for really pissed off with the Bastards!!

The man didn't drop any in my estimation and if Barrack has the same passion and commitment the y'all should get along right fine.

One mans opinion from the outside looking in!

Thanks Pod - I think other countries appreciate the stance for freedom and protection from th extremeists that he did more than those living here free and unattacked since 9/11. I would fight at his command and request at any time.
He was a soldier's soldier and did the right thing. I hope our new President will knw when to fight and continue to keep us as safe as we have been under President Bush. This American appreciates your viewpoint of our Commander in Chief

I add my name in support to this, our outgoing President George W. Bush.  He was dealt an unfair bad reputation more than once in a time that few, if any, could have weathered as well.  He was an honest and humble man that felt his beliefs in a very deep sense!

Thanks, POD. I think history will eventually find that Pres. Bush did right.
