Get Musharraf's co-operation for what? Dumbya has abandoned Afghanistan in order to invade Iraq. And he has looked the other way when Pakistan has set up a veritable nuclear bazaar, and has sold nuke technology to the other two members of the "axis of evil" (definitely in the case of NK and quite possibly in the case of Iran, not to mention Saudi Arabia). And all this makes sense to you???? How?!

SPECIAL GUEST, JOHN PODHORETZ If you think President Bush can't get a break from the mainstream media at his press conferences, you don't know the half of it. Look at the bestseller lists and you see an unprecedented number of Bush-hating books. There's Richard Clarke trashing the president. And John Dean trashing the president. And Kevin Phillips trashing the president. And Craig Unger trashing the president. And now Bob Woodward, who doesn't exactly trash the president, but wants people to think he is in order to sell his tome. These books are, to varying degrees, libelous, defamatory, and more than a little crazy. Richard Clarke claims that the president who has done more to fight terrorism than any world leader was and is negligent when it comes to the war on terror. John Dean, who became famous for serving a president who oversaw acts of petty and grand larceny and the cover-ups of those acts, suggests that the current situation is "Worse Than Watergate." Kevin Phillips and Craig Unger want you to believe that George W., who has repudiated most of the policies of his father's administration, is really part of a dynastic Bush family conspiracy. When I began writing my new book, Bush Country: How Dubya Became a Great President While Driving Liberals Insane, I had no idea that it would emerge into the marketplace as the only independent examination of the Bush presidency with a favorable take on Bush's policies, practices, and vision for America and the world. My book, which began as an effort to set the record of this presidency, is now also the only real effort to set the record straight against the onslaught of nasty, vicious, and untrue accusations and falsehoods about the president. The book makes the case for the Bush presidency--for Bush as a leader, as a formidable political actor, and as a visionary who has set the nation on a necessary course to confront terrorists and radical Islam. It also takes apart what I call the "crazy liberal ideas" about Bush. Every one of the crazy liberal ideas has now taken up happy residence on the New York Times bestseller list--that Bush is a moron, liar, and cowboy (Al Franken), that he is a puppet of powerful forces (Unger and Phillips), that he is a religious fanatic (Woodward, to some degree), that he is doing a bad job on homeland security (Clarke), and that he has a diabolical scheme to bankrupt the government with his tax cuts and big spending (Phillips). I really hope you'll consider Bush Country, a book that takes liberal conventional wisdom and shows how it's really nothing more than rank partisan and ideological foolishness and cravenness.
