On Ira's Annapolis comments... It is another unattributed anti-Bush rant, this time lamenting mid-term ratings and Ira's opinion that there is a lack of accomplishments.

How about these accomplishments? The administration's policies have squelched terror attempts on our soil, the surge has achieved a turnaround in Iraq, we are moving forward on increasing oil supply (to combat the price doubling since Democrats took control of Congress).

Why does Ira hope so much that there is already a document prepared for the Annapolis attendees to sign? I am concerned about a rush to sign any document. Isn't it more important to draft a document only if and when we know there are reasonable terms achieved in the process?

Other Presidents have had low mid-term or exit approval ratings, which history later saw in better light. I admire Bush for taking bold stands to protect the US and Israel, even at his personal "approval" expense. That is integrity.
