The Bush Crusade Posted: Thursday, September 2, 2004
Unmitigated gall Speaking of what Bush means, what a dumb flap over his obviously accidental misstatement that we can’t win the war against terrorism. As I have often noted, even when Bush misspeaks you can usually tell what he meant to say.
The world election
Israel sees Syrian link in bombings
Lady Thatcher pays £165,000 bail for Sir Mark
Hollinger Owners Took Over $400 Million
Axis Of Spies
Swift Boat Vet Got $40M Contract From Bush
The Bush Crusade George W. Bush plumbed the deepest place in himself, looking for a simple expression of what the assaults of September 11 required. It was his role to lead the nation, and the very world. The President, at a moment of crisis, defines the communal response. A few days after the assault, George W. Bush did this. Speaking spontaneously, without the aid of advisers or speechwriters, he put a word on the new American purpose that both shaped it and gave it meaning. "This crusade," he said, "this war on terrorism."
