President Bush and his speech to the U.N. get what amounts to a British rave review in the Comment section of The Times:
�What had been presented as a personal challenge to George W. Bush ended as a political challenge to his audience at the United Nations. In a calm and convincing address the President deftly turned the tables on his critics. �
Deft. DEFT!!! That�s got to be the first time that the word has been applied to �The Cowboy.� Maybe the rest of Europe will also see that the President isn�t a one-dimensional rube. Well, everybody but the French, anyway. Vive la Etats-Unis, you little froggies. (And if I massacred the spelling, suck it up.)
“The charge sheet he issued against Iraq, and the manner in which that indictment was served, means that the Security Council really does now need to meet its obligations. This was openly acknowledged by Kofi Annan in his remarks to the General Assembly. The alternative would be for the UN, as Churchill once damned the Baldwin Government, to �decide only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity, all-powerful to be impotent.�
Winston Churchill. WINSTON CHURCHILL!!! George Bush�s hero, and the writer sees a parallel to the President. Georgie�s day will be made if he sees this one.
I didn�t vote for him the first time, maybe I will the second go-round.
