Question:

Bush is truly a world leader. Just read the following (This may be shocking to Canadians who aren’t used to their ‘leaders’ leading, only doing what they are told by the French): "Against such an enemy, there’s only one effective response: We never back down, never give in and never accept anything less than complete victory," Bush declared. Yep, this isn’t Canada, this isn’t France and this isn’t Bill Clinton speaking, THIS is the leader of the free world and Western Culture. Read it and weep, Bush has foiled at LEAST 10 terror plots! Let’s tally the score shall we: Bush: 10 Clinton: 0 Canada: -1 Thank God a loose canon like Gore or a flip-flopper like Kerry aren’t running things right now – Bush and U.S. Foiled at Least 10 Terror Plots By TOM RAUM, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON –     President Bush said Thursday the United States and its allies had foiled at least 10 serious plots by the al-Qaida terror network in the last four years, including plans for Sept. 11-like attacks on both U.S. coasts. The president also said the U.S. and its partners have stopped at least five more efforts by al-Qaida to case targets or infiltrate operatives in the United States.

The White House initially would not give details of the 10 plots that Bush mentioned in his morning speech before the National Endowment for Democracy, saying some information remained classified. But in the evening, the White House released a fact sheet with a brief, and vague, description of each. Three targets cited were in the United States, including plans to use hijacked airplanes to attack the West Coast in mid-2002 and the East Coast in mid-2003. The White House said at least one planner of the West Coast attack was a key figure behind the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001. The third was the case of Jose Padilla, a former Chicago gang member who converted to Islam and allegedly plotted with top al-Qaida commanders to detonate a radioactive "dirty bomb" in a U.S. city. Padilla, whose plot never materialized, was designated an enemy combatant by Bush and is being held without criminal charge at a Navy brig in South Carolina. The White House said the other seven attacks included plans to:
