And what better place for the Commander in Chief to be than with his troops in the Area of Operations? The security measures were absolutely appropriate (one does not offer the bad guys a target of opportunity) and his action was superb. Having been deployed there I can tell you that the troops will have been delighted by his visit. The major combat phase was handled with great skill and success and now the "hard soldiering" phase of rooting out the relatively small number of die-hard thugs will have to go on as expected by all of us who served on active duty. These soldiers who are doing the really hard job deserve the morale boost they received by the President's visit. I salute them and I salute President Bush for his praiseworthy action. God bless our troops and God bless our Commander in Chief.
