BUSH'S AMERICA: 100 PERCENT AL-QAIDA FREE SINCE 2001
June 11, 2008


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.
