President moves from Defense to Offense

As late as September 10, 2001, our country was on defense, back on our heals, regarding terrorism and the growing danger. The War on Terror has been one of offense since September 14, 2001, when President Bush spoke from the National Cathedral in Washington and made a vow to bring to justice, those who caused so many to die.

"Just three days removed from these events, Americans do not have the distance of history, but our responsibility to history is clear. That responsibility is to answer these attacks, and rid the world of evil." - President Bush, Washington National Cathedral, Sept 14, 2001.

It may be in short order, one may look back and see the Veteran's Day speech by President Bush as the speech turning his political opponents onto their heals. After about 2 years of accusations by Senators Chuck Schumar of NY , John Kerry & Ted Kennedy of MA and others in the house and senate, the President may have reached his limit with what he has heard and the apparent effects it is having on public opinion of the war, troop morale and the "writing of history."

The President today went on the offense. Read the President's Veterans Day speech from Pennsylvania and read an article from CNN.

The MSM and Harry Reid have decided the President's speech today is purely politically driven and feels it was done because Bush's approval ratings are heading down. Maybe Harry Reid wants the approval rating of the President to continue to drop. Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer have something to gain directly from the President being discreditted, rightfully or not.
