Great writing, even if it is the Post.

God Bless our Commander in Chief and his advisors.

"Presidents don't particularly like to cry in front of the American public, particularly in the Oval Office, but nevertheless I did," Bush said in an interview last month. But he said he believed his "mood reflected the country in many ways. People in our country felt the same way I did."

More than a President, a real person.

This series, IMO, is the best show in town. And is it my imagination or does President Bush have a couple of new, if grudging admirers in the Fifth Estate?.....Pilar

We are witnessing a huge correction in the course of the media leviathans, which realize that they must at least appear to mirror more of the overwhelming public sentiment in support of President Bush and the New Conservativism-- if they are to remain viable businesses.

With this superb series Woodward et al. have almost certainly accomplished two things:
1. Laid out for future historians the architectonics of Bush's executive style. He shapes policy, his cabinet fleshes it out.
2. Silenced the press who will read this and be forced to admit the truth: Sept 11 was the dawn of the Bush era

Woodward has some interesting "inside sources" when describing Mr. Black's dramatic gestures. Is this observer a snitch or is this done with the full approval of the White House? "The president wanted to kill someone", who said this? Was the leaker real or is this more of Woodwards imagination? I know Woodward wants the world to see how important and powerful his written words can be but what about his sources? Just asking and wondering who is providing all this "inside stuff", maybe someone on the staff or does he have the place bugged? Obviously, I trust Woodward very little, he is, after all, a proud member of the left. Reveal your sources, Bobby boy, so we can have a better idea of their reliability.

When you realize this well written account gives less that 1% of all that went on in the days following the attack, you gotta be proud of the performance of the President and his young Administration.

The Bush Era did not begin on Sept. 11, it began in his mind and soul when he decided to RUN, and when he put together a competent team of advisers.

What can W achieve once the Senate finally confirms his full team?

I guess Bob Woodward isn't out to get US afterall.As many L.Dotters have said----Thank God Bush is in the White House instead of that other Satanic led dministration.What happens in the next presidential election might very well decide the fate of our Nation.
Keep informed and tell others to keep informed and get out and vote. I don't believe that we can survive if the liberals get in the White House again.
old phone man

What photo???

Is she at it again?? I get the feeling she's running, in comfortable shoes, all over the Senate and adjacent offices looking for photographers and notables.

Hillareeeeeeee -- you scamp.

I believe it was Colin Powell who remarked that ...The President wanted to kill someone.
I can see Powell giving Woodward a lot of information for the article.
Thank you, Staff, for posting them all. It really is a keeper.
This series is the beginning of a great legacy, something President Bush doesn't have to go out and fake. It came to him.

Excellent articles. Print them out - they are keepers. So what if W said he wanted to kill someone - so did I.

I have to wonder what the Kool Aid drinking, Bush-haters think of this series? Especially those in the lamestream media. Do they ''feel'' one of their own has gone around the bend? Will Woodward be treated like Bernard Goldberg? Naaahhh...

Great article!

I hear a clacking noise coming from Pennsylvania Avenue. Sounds like brass. As in brass balls. Roll on, G.W.!

My understanding is Woodward team interviewed the prez, veep, condo, powell --- everyone -- that the quotes are direct repeats of quotes

This is sanitized, WH-approved history

Nonetheless it is extraordinary

Kudos to Dubuya for staying his post and refusing to hightail it out of the Oval Office when threatened

Karen P.'s might-as-well-get-cheese line was priceless

"Presidents don't particularly like to cry in front of the American public, particularly in the Oval Office, but nevertheless I did," Bush said..."

At least all of them except clinton... he watched for cameras to cry into.

What is it with hillary and the over-the-shoulder sweater? It is a preppy look for much, much younger women, and looks ridiculous over a suit. Someone must have advised her at one point that it was classy, and she does it very often now.... and usually with the pink or a blue sweater...

I'll bet hillary could spit quarters that Schumer got the credit for getting the extra $20m from the president. Her spokespeople have been on the talk shows saying it was she who talked the president into coughing up more money.... LOL

What is the color you think of these days with the clintons? Green? With envy?

Reading these stories bring back the tears of 9/11 . . .

Excellent series and something we need to keep for our children and their children.

I'd even spend money for a woodward book if he published these in expanded, book-level pages.

Thank you for confirming what we've always known. W is THE MAN.

This is a great series..I am suprised its being written by Bob Woodward. What's going on here ??

This is great writing. I think Balz, Woodward and Himmelman understand that they are writing for their children and grandchildren and on down the ages. I feel so good that when my grandsons are old enough, they can read this for themselves and understand the gift that they had as very young children and babies.

I love that last vignette of Condi Rice weeping as she hears The Star Spangled Banner being played at the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace.

Cuidado!!!!!!!

The fate of our nation hangs not on the next election, but on every election for the foreable future. The next Demoncratic Administration will use the enhanced powers of the military and Justice Department as sharp tools against domestic opponents. We are past the point of indulging indulgent and subversive Presidents such as Clinton. We were lucky that Clinton thought with the contents of his pants and not with his brain. Gore would have been a nightmare.

Carp, you need to publish your TV Guides. Here's an idea for a submission. The New Yorker has a humor page called Shouts and Murmurs which lately has not been at all funny. Please, please, submit to them!!!

And, again thanks to Lucianne for affording us these splendid articles.

The comment 'the President wanted to kill someone" follows a semicolon -- I drew from this that it was a conclusion drawn by the writers of the article rather than a quote from Powell, etc. that Bush wanted to kill someone. Read it again and see what you think.

The NEW YORKER wouldn't touch me with a ten foot fishing pole!

When Clinton bombed the chinese embasy he probable asked how far is it to the Canadian border from here, and had air force 1 estimate the time.

A thought: can you imagine if 9/11 had happened a year earlier? Clinton would have been conferring with Allbright, Cohen and Reno on the logistics of bombing a few tents.

Oh, Lucianne, I just LOVE you for bringing this to us!

I have been reading it, and printing it.

THANK YOU!

I cried too when Buckingham played "our" song. As a matter of fact, it was at that moment when my own floodgates opened.

I'm bothered by Coling Powell, and I can't put my finger on it. Time will tell.
