I agree with most of what you wrote.

re: "On the deficit for military spending"

I blame him for having spend so much on it yet not having achieved any of the goals like killing or capturing Bin Laden or Omar. This "war on terrorism" is a "wag the dog" phantom fantasy. You can spend all the money in the world and you will never ever defeat the reasons behind what makes certain people do these things. And this has nothing to do with Muslim fundamentalism. Lots of non-muslim countries have been called terrorists before. Including Americans fighting against the British for independence and Zionist for the creation of Israel.

In fact, everything that Bush has done since 9/11 has played right at the hands of what the 9/11 terrorists wanted. And that was to crash the US and its economy. Him spending so much time, money and effort to this "phantom" war on terrorism, and not the US economy, is playing right at the hands of what the terrorists wanted to accomplish. I'm not saying don't go find the people responsible, but Bush has made it a freaking crusade with the "axis of evil" and global war on terrorism. If anything, he made it worse if you look at the situation between Pakistan/India, North/South Korea, Palestine/Israel.

JMHO.
