Finally, a Wartime President
SAN FRANCISCO, Ca --- Tonight, President Bush became a bonafide 'wartime president'. The key skill of a wartime president is to uplift the American spririt with carefully limited military facts and mission, while preventing the enemy from knowing our strategy.
For the first time, he spoke like the commander-in-chief, and not as a politician. Hidden between the lines is a threat to both Iraq and Iran. Iraq, this is your last opportunity. Iran, just like we targeted our enemy in Somalia 48 hours ago, we will target you if you continue to aid the insurgents.
For the first time, he showed he understood the conflict from a military viewpoint. Whether you disagree with the 'surge', he has his vision of the concluding this conflict. My opinion: He's using the Nixon strategy. In 1973, Nixon resumed the bombing of North Vietnam, massive bombing, unrelentless almost 24 hours per day. It was a prelude to negotiations. Bush's "surge" I believe is the same strategy.
There will be movement in the next several months. Positive, I believe
