BUSH SUMS UP HIS PRESIDENCY: "Popularity is fleeting ... Principles are forever."

"Popularity is fleeting ... Principles are forever."

I disagree with much of what he did and attempted to do: the Medicare expansion; NCLB; Miers; Amnesty' wimpiness on the GWOT; wimpiness on Plame-Wilson; etc.

But Bush was always stood on his principles. He never altered his inner course - no matter the ferocity of enemy attacks, whether by al Qaeda or the MSM or the Democrats.

This is truly admirable.

If Iraq works out, then there will be a great foundation for future victories and the ultimate global victory of the West and modernism and democracy and universal human rights.

I'm praying so...
