Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

US backs first-strike attack plan

Can't beat the BBC. The world's best news... writers.

From BBCNews.com:

US backs first-strike attack plan

The US will not shy away from attacking regimes it considers hostile, or groups it believes have nuclear or chemical weapons, the White House has confirmed. In the first restatement of national security strategy since the invasion of Iraq in 2003, the US singles out Iran as the greatest single current danger.
The new policy backs the policy of pre-emptive war first issued in 2002, and criticised since the Iraq war. But it stresses that the US aims to spread democracy through diplomacy.


Dubya, jesting with buddies about diplomacy over barbecue: 'Texas-style diplomacy, he he he!!' Hey Lorne, I've got an idea for this week's show!
