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.

Timing Issue

(Fox News) - A Hezbollah officer says if Israel would have kept up the pressure on the terror group a little longer last summer — it would have won their month-long war instead of settling for a cease-fire.

The unnamed officer spoke to an Israeli TV station — and said Hezbollah was running low on food and water and facing dwindling arms supplies — and would have surrendered in another 10 days. He says top commanders were told to hide — and foot soldiers were forced to fire rockets from inside heavily populated areas — even though they knew innocent civilians would be hurt.
