"True leadership implies one is accountable for each and every decision along the way and that you stay engaged and make modifications to the plan and don't make endless excuses or never admit mistakes"

Name one excuse name on thing Bush has not taken responibility for?

Kerry is the one making the excuses about almost every thing he has said.

If I say you need to make modifications in your life are you going to do it or are you going to continue to do what you know is right?

It all sounds good on the evening news if you do not like Bush but in reality it's horse pucky.

Go back and read the histories of every war we have ever fought and you will see the same thing. It gets worse before it gets better. If Iwo Jima happened today all you hand wringers would have wanted the war with Japan called off.
