Bush's America: 100 Percent Al-Qaida Free Since 2001by Ann Coulter(more by this author)
Posted 06/12/2008 ET
Quote:
In a conversation recently, I mentioned as an aside what a great president George Bush has been and my friend was surprised. I was surprised that he was surprised.
I generally don't write columns about the manifestly obvious, but, yes, the man responsible for keeping Americans safe from another terrorist attack on American soil for nearly seven years now will go down in history as one of America's greatest presidents.
Produce one person who believed, on Sept. 12, 2001, that there would not be another attack for seven years, and I'll consider downgrading Bush from "Great" to "Really Good."
Merely taking out Saddam Hussein and his winsome sons Uday and Qusay (Hussein family slogan: "We're the Rape Room People!") constitutes a greater humanitarian accomplishment than anything Bill Clinton ever did -- and I'm including remembering Monica's name on the sixth sexual encounter.
But unlike liberals, who are so anxious to send American troops to Rwanda or Darfur, Republicans oppose deploying U.S. troops for purely humanitarian purposes. We invaded Iraq to protect America.
It is unquestionable that Bush has made this country safe by keeping Islamic lunatics pinned down fighting our troops in Iraq. In the past few years, our brave troops have killed more than 20,000 al-Qaida and other Islamic militants in Iraq alone. That's 20,000 terrorists who will never board a plane headed for JFK -- or a landmark building, for that matter.
We are, in fact, fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them at, say, the corner of 72nd and Columbus in Manhattan -- the mere mention of which never fails to enrage liberals, which is why you should say it as often as possible.
The Iraq war has been a stunning success. The Iraqi army is "standing up" (as they say), fat Muqtada al-Sadr --the Dr. Phil of Islamofascist radicalism -- has waddled off in retreat to Iran, and Sadr City and Basra are no longer war zones. Our servicemen must be baffled by the constant nay-saying coming from their own country.
The Iraqis have a democracy -- a miracle on the order of flush toilets in that godforsaken region of the world. Despite its newness, Iraq's democracy appears to be no more dysfunctional than one that would condemn a man who has kept the nation safe for seven years while deifying a man who has accomplished absolutely nothing in his entire life except to give speeches about "change."
(Guess what Bill Clinton's campaign theme was in 1992? You are wrong if you guessed: "bringing dignity back to the White House." It was "change." In January 1992, James Carville told Steve Daley of The Chicago Tribune that it had gotten to the point that the press was complaining about Clinton's "constant talk of change.")
Monthly casualties in Iraq now come in slightly lower than a weekend with Anna Nicole Smith. According to a CNN report last week, for the entire month of May, there were only 19 troop deaths in Iraq. (Last year, five people on average were shot every day in Chicago.) With Iraqi deaths at an all-time low, Iraq is safer than Detroit -- although the Middle Eastern food is still better in Detroit.
Al-Qaida is virtually destroyed, surprising even the CIA. Two weeks ago, The Washington Post reported: "Less than a year after his agency warned of new threats from a resurgent al-Qaida, CIA Director Michael V. Hayden now portrays the terrorist movement as essentially defeated in Iraq and Saudi Arabia and on the defensive throughout much of the rest of the world, including in its presumed haven along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border."
It's almost as if there's been some sort of "surge" going on, as strange as that sounds.
Just this week, The New York Times reported that al-Qaida and other terrorist groups in Southeast Asia have all but disappeared, starved of money and support. The U.S. and Australia have been working closely with the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia, sending them counterterrorism equipment and personnel.
But no one notices when 9/11 doesn't happen. Indeed, if we had somehow stopped the 9/11 attack, we'd all be watching Mohammed Atta being interviewed on MSNBC, explaining his lawsuit against the Bush administration. Maureen Dowd would be writing columns describing Khalid Sheik Mohammed as a "wannabe" terrorist being treated like Genghis Khan by an excitable Bush administration.
We begin to forget what it was like to turn on the TV, see a tornado, a car chase or another Pamela Anderson marriage and think: Good -- another day without a terrorist attack.
But liberals have only blind hatred for Bush -- and for those brute American interrogators who do not supply extra helpings of béarnaise sauce to the little darlings at Guantanamo with sufficient alacrity.
The sheer repetition of lies about Bush is wearing people down. There is not a liberal in this country worthy of kissing Bush's rear end, but the weakest members of the herd run from Bush. Compared to the lickspittles denying and attacking him, Bush is a moral giant -- if that's not damning with faint praise. John McCain should be so lucky as to be running for Bush's third term. Then he might have a chance.
Think what you want, but she's a great writer. That's some snappy prose right there.
please, he() is just like you...the ones taking the opportunity now thats been so long to make us forget how we really got to this point and hide all Bush's f uck-ups cause its election year..in particular cause McCain = bush, so the better bush looks the more it helps McCain
I'd like to think that we'd still be attack-free since '01 even if we never touched Iraq. Our beefed-up-to-the-point-of-being-absurd airport security and other nat'l security measures have all but taken care of that.
Iraq war was about OIL. Plain and simple.... This slut is just clouding the issue with crap. Bush has been a failure as a president. Points: We steal a billion gallons of oil from Iraq yet our gas prices have double during the bush admin, economy sucks (granted its debatable if thats totally bush's fault), housing market has completely died on the table (over 1,000,000 foreclosures), oh yeah and lets not forget that prior to the bush admin there had NEVER been a foreign terrorist attack on American soil.

oh yeah, also remember that prior to 9/11 bush spent more time in camp david and the crawford ranch then he did in the white house. Fall asleep at the wheel and you should expect an accident.

Even any idiot would agree that McCain would be in much better shape if Bush’s approval rating were at 45 to 50 percent., thats why the "slime machine" is looking to write their own version how things happened
bring on the right wing propaganda, I ll just continue to speak from a moderate point of view and state the facts. BTW lets get this out there early, I voted for Ron Paul and I refuse to vote for Obama in the general so I am not some radical leftist who is anti bush/repub. with that said bring it!

Let the spin begin! McCain is known as a mavrick who isnt afraid to cross party lines to get results, I would be comfortable with him at the helm, Obama is the one who scares me (no experience, sketchy voting record, racist/radical friends and mentors, not to mention the fact that he is being elected based on him being "hip and energetic"). Only smart people that follow the issues and pay attention to current events should allowed to vote otherwise idiots like bush and obama will find their way into the white house.

[raises hand]
Instead of not going into Iraq and risking another possible attack on America, that may have killed some civilians... We send our troops over there knowing that they will be killed. That's OK. They're just Marines... they're expendable.

+1 Completley agree. However we were attacked at pearl harbor, except when that happened we actually targeted the group that was responsible for the attack. So, according to Ann's point of view that means every president after pearl harbor and before 9/11 was the "greatest" president in history. yea right.

I don't even know where to begin....
Where is your proof that we're stealing oil?
Oh and I guess you don't you remember the 1993 attack on the WTC, under Pres Clinton?
i considered pearl harbor but I chose to not include it due to the fact that we were entering a world war at that point and it was an attack by a country at war attempting to cripple its soon to be enemy and not by a group of radicals who had a vendetta against us. I am glad that you saw where I was coming from, if the greatest president award is going to be given out based on that critera then even Nixon should receive those honors.

Oh yeah and during that time clinton erased the national debt had its first surplus.... America prospered and went on, whereas with the Bush admin in office spending is through the roof (some conservative republican he is) and he was able to get re-elected based on the fear of another attack. HMMM some legecy he is going to have. Repulicans like you should learn when to cut bait and walk away while you still have a chance to get a member of your party elected rather then getting behind the man who crippled your party and america.

Yup. Thats it. We are winning the war. There will never be a terrorist attack again. But all we have to do is sacrafice thousands of our soldiers and countless thousands of more civilians in foreign soil! That will keep them from the homeland! God damn Bush is Einstein! Brilliant! I love the guy!

^ I agree with this. It has worked so much better than the billions and the US military lives and frustrated the Hell out of the Extremist Muslims that have been traveling. The first bag charge will thwart them once and for all!
