Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

W'S LAST CHANCE

By RALPH PETERS

January 11, 2007 --
LAST night, President Bush gave us a candid overview of Iraq and outlined his plan to reverse the bitter course events have taken. The heart of the effort will be a modest surge in American troop strength - to give Iraqis a last chance to save their country.

Will the plan work? Maybe. It's a last-hope effort based on steps that should've been taken in 2003, from providing basic security for the population to getting young Iraqi males off the streets and into jobs.
