Quote of the Week:

In the defense of our nation, a president must be a clear-eyed realist. There are limits to the smiles and scowls of diplomacy. Armies and missiles are not stopped by stiff notes of condemnation. They are held in check by strength and purpose and the promise of swift punishment.

- George W. Bush , speech, November 19, 1999

I felt that it would be nice to have a few final words from our soon to be Former President Bush. I completely agree with the above statement. And like many of you I hope that Obama and any other future President holds some or all of the characteristics and understanding listed above. I truly wish that this war could end with the writing of a note and a harsh scowl, but since pigs don't fly and hell hasn't frozen yet, we can all hope for the best and must prepare for anything.

Farewell President Bush and Welcome President Obama.
