30 Years

 Today marks 30 years since the ground campaign of Desert Storm began under the command of H Norman Schwartzkopf.

Iraq boasted an army of 1 million men, the 4th largest in the world, comprised of battle hardened veterans of a decade of war with Iran.
The inexperienced Coalition troops that opposed them numbered 750k.
Despite these facts, which had contemporary American pundits alarmed, the outcome was never in doubt. Within four days Kuwait was free and 42 of 50 Iraqi divisions lay in ruins, mauled by what has aptly been called the perfect example of B-krieg warfare.
To all who served, and to the late Gen Schwarzkopf and President HW Bush, I tip my hat in gratitude.

George HW Bush

RIP George Herbert Walker Bush. He was the first person I ever cast a ballot for,  and the man whose integrity and steadfastness converted this reluctant Democrat into a loyal Republican.  You served this nation well sir; sleep well.  #41

"A Complete 180"

The contemporary opinion of a Presidency is almost always fueled by emotion and partisanship, rather than facts. This result was inevitable.

The Media

Picture #1 (dark background) is from ABC News, who as part of the liberal MSM, did their darnedest to frame quotes from the GOP debate in the worst light possible and devoid of context. Their FB entry on this one is boiling over with hate from Hispanics in the comment section, and ABC rubs their hands with glee.

Pic #2 is from the BBC, who, lacking an agenda, concentrated on the actual gist of the statement. You know, like actual *reporters*.

41 by George W Bush

 Book #3 of 2015. More than once it brought a tear to my eye. A great man, and I adore him.

The Bush Legacy

I literally kissed the cover when I saw it.  Disturbing but true.

Day of Fire

Reading 'Day of Fire', a chapter in Dubya's autobiography. I got the chills when he described his trip to NYC after the attacks.

W on O

Watching Dubya on Oprah. I adore that man, I truly do.

Happy 85th Birthday Mr. President!



Today, on his 85th birthday, George Herbert Walker Bush once again went skydiving. Kudos to the man, because I've always been too chicken to try it - and I'm not the one old enough to remember FDR's first term!

Happy Birthday Mr. President, and I hope I see you keep your vow of jumping again to celebrate your 90th.

Thank you Mr. President

"The true history of my administration will be written 50 years from now, and you and I will not be around to see it.”




It was my pleasure, sir, to have campaigned for you twice, to have seen you speak in person as both Governor and President, and to have witnessed your second inauguration.

On behalf of me and my wife, and our children - all four of whom I'm proud to say were born during your administration - may God bless and keep you.

Thank you.
