Eugene David<br>...The One-Minute Pundit

And here's a problem:

Whatever the effect may be on the 2006 and 2008 elections, the war must be prosecuted with all the speed and force we can muster -- and that is more than we now use -- toward victory. The President needs to explain to us, in detail, what defeat would mean to us and the rest of the civilized world. He needs to tell us where we are fighting, and how. We need not know every covert operation that may be going on, but we need to be told how many nations we fight in, and why. He needs to say that the fight continues, under many covert guises, and that we mean to defeat the enemy wherever he may be, whichever regimes must be destroyed, and by whatever means, fair or foul, we must use to achieve the defeat of Islamic terrorism. And when the President tells us these facts, they must be accompanied by decisive action that carries out these intents.

All true -- but we're talking the most famously dyslexic of presidents, one who would rather hide behind the lectern than make a speech, who couldn't write a paragraph without his brain hurting, who can't say a sentence of two words without gumming it up. A great leader would do these things.
