"Bring 'em on..."! I do not know if he really believes all this, or even believes what he says he believes. Nobody really knows anyone this deeply. But what we are hearing when he makes these kinds of statements: “Wherever you go, you carry a message of hope - a message that is ancient and ever new. In the words of the prophet Isaiah, ‘To the captives, “come out,” and to those in darkness, “be free.””; this is what he told U.S. troops on May 1st when he declared “we won.” Soldiers have unique ways of responding to combat; in Vietnam, where I both served in combat and protested the war simultaneously without ambiguity, we just said it was just FUBAR. You may translate it freely. But nevertheless we must listen to what Mr. Bush says and take him at his word. We must read what his closest advisors think about and how they formulate policies. It is, in the end, what these elite “think” that causes them to “do.”

In every age...the ultimate sources of war are the beliefs of those in power:
their idea about what is of most fundamental importance
and may therefore ultimately be worth a war.
-- Evan Luard, author International War

The last weeks of November three U. S. Blackhawks were shot down with 39 American deaths. In Somalia Clinton saw two Blackhawks go down and a number of Americans were killed: Clinton pulled out of Somalia because of what is called mission creep. Mr. Bush doesn’t believe in mission creep, unlike Clinton, he will “stay the course.”
Unlike Clinton, Bush knows what the word “is” means. And Bush “is” going to stay in Iraq, rather than be put off by a growing number of American post-hostility combat deaths, thousands more seriously ill due to mysterious ailments linked to an aggressive Anthrax Vaccine which was never needed; and some 1,700 desertions from all military ranks will not deter Bush. Unlike Clinton, Bush “is” unafraid of Iraqi guerrillas, he “is” unafraid to die; unlike Clinton, Bush has stated regarding these Iraqi attackers, “bring ‘em on”! That defines “is,” like manliness requires!
Unlike Clinton, Bush “is” unafraid to fly a F-16 onto a floating carrier to visit his troops during combat overseas. Unlike Clinton, Bush has shared his Turkey dinner with his troops during Thanksgiving, unafraid of the Iraqi resistance, unafraid to put his life in harms way...unlike Clinton.
As Commander and Chief in Kosova Clinton was afraid to place U.S. troops in harms way; unlike Clinton, Bush “is” always prepared to do so and even attack Syria, North Korea and Iran if he feels it “is” the right thing to do. Clinton “is” in shock and awe of Bush as he employs the Powell doctrine of “rapid dominance” in Afghanistan, Iraq. Here in the United States unlike Clinton, Bush “is” unafraid of the consequences of “rapid dominance” over the American populace under Patriot Acts I & II.
Unlike Clinton, who originally proposed Homeland Security, Bush “is” the man who did it! Unlike Clinton, Bush “is” unafraid of the un-American act of locking down the nation, fingerprinting first, foreigners, but ultimately every man woman and child to provide Security for government from the Homeland. Unlike Clinton, Bush “is” unafraid of consequences! Bush “is” a man!
Unlike the Clintons, the Bushes “are” unafraid of their long-time family friend and stalwart life-long supporter, general Wesley Clark; Clark, who has admitted he doesn’t even know the Clintons, stands for everything Bush stands for: most especially “is” his disregard for disingenuousness; tell them what you want them to hear, then do what “is” needed no matter what the subjects think. Unlike Clinton, Bush in a show of bipartisanship may appoint Clark to high office come January 20, 2005 when Bush is reinstalled as Commander and Chief (unless Boeing or GE hire Clark first for services rendered), as unlike Clinton, Bush’s wars of conquest escalate.
Unlike Clinton, Bush will reinstate the military draft, including the newly proposed immigration reform registered 8-14 million aliens of Hispanic descent, ages 18-25. Unlike Clinton who didn’t serve his country in time of war Bush “is” unafraid to serve his country in time of wars as Commander and Chief. In times of wars as CIC...“bring ’em on,” “is” the Bush doctrine! Unlike Clinton, Bush “is” unafraid to define what “is” to be or not to be, and that “is“ always the question.
