During the press conference on Friday, Bush outlined his policies for the capture and detention of terrorists. However, he started off by remembering 9/11:
You know, for me, it was a reminder about how I felt right after 9/11. I felt a sense of determination and conviction about doing everything that is necessary to protect the people.
Yes, Bush must have had an absolutely extraordinary sense of determination. After Card told him that America was under attack, Bush weighed the implications of this new information. However, he was resolute and fiercely determined. He did not waver from his plan; he showed no hesitancy. He continued reading My Pet Goat to the assembled children of Booker Elementary despite the momentous implications of the event that had just transpired. He was as steadfast as a rock -- even the deaths of 3000 Americans did not shake him. Many people seem to think that doing such a thing would be neglecting Bush's duty as president of the United States. Those people are sadly mistaken. If Bush actually took some action instead of continuing to read to a bunch of elementary students, do you know what kind of message that would have sent to the terrorists? It would have shown that Bush was a spineless flip-flopper -- a clone of Kerry. It would have encouraged terrorists to keep on attacking America, because we don't know what course to take (incidentally, that's why you should vote Republican in the coming elections -- if we waver, the terrorists are going to attack us again). It would have shown that America could not adhere to a single course of action, but that it deviated wildly. If anything, America is constant. Bush stoically showed his tenacity that day. He was able to go ahead with his planned photo op and pay no heed to the outside world. Some people call that pig-headedness. I call that the mark of a great president -- one who will stick to his guns, one who will not be drawn away from his objective. Regardless of whatever happens, Bush will always -- always -- stick to his guns. He stuck to his guns on 9/11, and he's sticking to his guns in Iraq, despite what the reality on the ground there may be. And believe me, the terrorists are scared and they are on the run. They had no clue that Bush would take no action in the aftermath of 9/11 and instead he would continue reading a children's book -- but he did. It was a brilliant, well-thought-out psychological ploy. The terrorists were seriously disheartened to learn that their entire plot failed to capture the attention of Bush. They learned that America was strong, and that our president was well-versed in children's books. However, Bush would later deliver the knockout punch, when discussing Osama bin Laden at a press conference:
So I don't know where he is. You know, I just don't spend that much time on him, Kelly, to be honest with you.
That is what I call genius. Bush switched from military tactics to psychological warfare. He visciously burst the ego of the terrorists and Osama by telling them that he doesn't give a shit about them. I mean, first he invaded Afghanistan and Iraq in an effort to stop the terrorists, then he said he didn't spend much time on them. Liberals will say that this is blatant inconsistency. Wrong. Bush is changing the pace on the terrorists. Originally, his objective was to kill all the terrorists by bombing Afghanistan and Iraq. Well, that worked OK -- after all, hundreds of thousands of people died, and some of them must have been terrorists. But he needed to refine his technique. His new goal was to make the terrorists feel alone and neglected -- and he accomplished that too. For people who say Bush has no finesse -- that he speaks with his mouth full of food, refers to leaders of nations as "yo," etc. -- let that be a lesson to you. Bush is intellectually advanced and engaged in a deadly mental battle with the enemy. He shows fortitude, inner strength, and cunning. However, he is continuously hounded by the American-hating free press. At the recent press conference, he also said that:
If there's any comparison between the compassion and decency of the American people and the terrorist tactics of extremists, it's flawed logic. I simply can't accept that. It's unacceptable to think that there's any kind of comparison between the behavior of the United States of America and the action of Islamic extremists who kill innocent women and children to achieve an objective, Terry.
Indeed. There is absolutely no comparison at all between what the US is doing in Iraq and Afghanistan and what terrorists do. Their objective to is to kill women and children. Our objective is to liberate women and children from an oppressive ruler. And if we have to kill them to liberate them, by Jove, we'll do it. The terrorists have mercilessly slaughtered thousands of people. The US, on the other hand, has compassionately liberated 50,000 Iraqi civilians (and counting). There is really no comparison.
