Accomplishments #5 & #6

Accomplishment #5 - The PATRIOT ACT. This is my favorite, quite possibly because the liberal media hates this legislation so much. They enjoyed beyond no end tarring former U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft (whose son serves/d aboard a U.S. warship in the Persian Gulf) for executing segments of this law. That's fine, I guess, President Bush, his boss, was a big supporter of the law. But, if President Bush did not sign this bill into law, the numbers to override his veto were huge. The House voted for the bill 357 - 66. The Senate voted in support by a whopping 98 - 1. The 2004 Democrat Presidential ticket of Sens. John F. Kerry and John Edwards, of course, voted for it. Yet, U.S. Attorney General is criticized for enforcing it. General Ashcroft was obligated to enforce it. I never read in the liberal media anyone calling out any Senate Democrat for his/her vote in support. Anyway, another huge "uniting" moment for President Bush. That was 98 - 1 in the Senate for those scoring at home.

Accomplishment #6 - Israel gave the Gaza Strip to the Palestinians. In another flash-point for global warfare, peace is being pursued by those serious about finding peace. It was not easy for Israel to relinquish this land: the Israeli hawks hammered Sharon and the most anti-Israeli Palestinians rubbed Sharon's nose in his "capitulation". It cannot be denied that the United States (the Bush Administration and Dr. Condoleezza Rice) played a huge part in convincing Sharon to take a chance on peace.

Notice the balance so far in the Accomplishments? International. Domestic. International. Domestic. Now, a combo. My goodness, this President can do it all. Two, maybe three, more Accomplishments tomorrow.

Prior Accomplishments:
#4 - The Partial Birth Abortion Ban.
#3 - Libya gave up its nukes.
#2 - The Born-Alive Infant Protection Act.
