Cynics and other scalawags be damned. What President Bush did over the Thanksgiving holiday was simply outstanding.
To make a thirty hour round trip, into dangerous territory, just to spend a few hours with the troops on the front lines is the act of a true Commander in Chief. The boost in moral for the men there had to be simply amazing. It probably also twisted the knife in Hussein's guts, to know that his hated enemy
passed into and out of his former country with impugnity.
My respect for the president has just gone up significantly.
