I didn’t like everything Mr. Bush did. In fact, I am at odds with him on many issues. I supported the war effort though. I believed we could win, despite the idiots on the left and their constant caterwauling. This war was/is personal to me as well. I lost a good friend over there and my brother is over there now.
I am glad he had the balls not to listen to their mindless hysteria.
Saw this over at Blackfive and I decided to steal it.
Charlie Gibson Interviews President 
Bush
GIBSON: One thing you’ll miss most?
BUSH: Well, I’ll miss being Commander-in-Chief. I have gotten to be — grown to be so appreciative of our military. It’s hard to believe that so many kids, and some not-so-kids, have volunteered to fight in a war. And I’ll miss — and it’s going to sound strange to you — I’ll miss meeting with the families whose son or daughter have fallen in combat, because the meetings I’ve had with the families are so inspirational. They — I mean, obviously, there’s a lot of sadness, and we cry, and we hug, and we occasionally laugh. And we share — I listen to stories. But the Comforter-in-Chief is always the comforted person.
Believe it or not, I’ll miss going to the hospitals as the Commander-in-Chief, and looking a kid in the eye, and have him say, heal me up, Mr. President, I want to go back in. And so, there will be a lot of these special moments that we’ll miss.
GIBSON: Was there a time when you thought, if I do this I will be compromising my principles —
BUSH: Yes.
GIBSON: — some decision where you really thought that that was at issue?
BUSH: Yes.
GIBSON: What?
BUSH: The pullout of Iraq. It would have compromised the principle that when you put kids into harm’s way, you go in to win. And it was a tough call, particularly, since a lot of people were advising for me to get out of Iraq, or pull back in Iraq, or — and rather than listen to — I mean, I listened to a lot of voices, but ultimately, I listened to this voice: I’m not going to let your son die in vain; I believe we can win; I’m going to do what it takes to win in Iraq.
This is true leadership. Grab the bull by the horns and kick that fucker in the balls.
Just a side note for my pisslamist loving dimam (plural of dhimmi) on the left.
Muhammad, or should I say Mahound was an ominous destroyer and a prophet of murder.
