    So what?

    Comparing Bush and Nixon is just so wrong. Nixon did it to save his a$$. Bush did it to protect American citizens.

    Terrorists don't follow laws to "correctly" strike legally. Flushing them out by whatever means is necessary.

    You can't cut a diamond with a plastic knife.

    Instead of worrying about weekly approval ratings and other crap, this president *actually* worried about long-term america and took whatever steps are necessary to keep America safe.

    Don't you guys remember the Clinton-era? Weekly poll ratings; weekly speeches on medicare, etc to improve ratings, etc.

    This is one damn good president US ever had. You bush-haters guys just don't know it yet.

    They said the same thing about Truman.

    Now he is realized as one of the strongest presidents we ever had.

    Abuse, schbuse... Tell that to terrorists.

    I say, fight fire with nukes. You use a gun, i use a nuke.
