President Bush was in Kansas City yesterday to deliver a speech the VFW convention. It was an impressive speech that puts today's struggle into an historical context.
The President was articulate and convincing. He was accurate and insightful. The only frustrating issue: why was this speech not delivered two or three years ago? Other noble visionaries were telling these truths but why is the president, in August of 2007 with one year yet to serve, just now getting around to casting this vision for the way forward?
Nevertheless, the President has articulated the place this ideological war has in history. Is it too late to convince the American people? Will anyone even here these examples from history and understand their meaning in today's context? We can only hope.
You can hear the President's speech in two parts here (Part 1 & Part 2).
Read an short excerpt (with commentary) here.

Jason saw Air Force One landing at the airport and heard them say "Air Force One, you are cleared for landing." How cool is that? My hubby has the coolest job ever...well, except for mine, that is. :-D
