Wow, that was a great game. Now re. Bush - ok, he sticks his foot in his mouth occasionally. A characteristic which runs in the family apparently as his Dad did was known for that too.
However, in three years Bush has:
waged two successful wars,
cut taxes twice,
outlawed partial birth abortion,
killed the Kyoto Treaty,
discarded the ABM treaty,
prevented US participation in the International Criminal Court,
forced Libya to surrender it’s WMD programs without firing a shot,
forced dictator Charles Taylor to step down in Liberia,
gotten both sides in the decades-long Sudanese civil war to the peace table,
conducted one of the largest government reorganizations in history by creating the Department of Homeland Security,
begun construction of an anti-ballistic missile shield,
captured Saddam Hussein,
killed or captured two-thirds of the senior leadership of al-Qaeda,
prevented (so far at least) any more terror attacks aimed at the US,
and achieved many smaller accomplishments.
While I don't imagine that all of these accomplishments meet with your approval, they are successes from the standpoint of Bush and his supporters. His big failure has been the lack of control over spending, however given the recession and foreign challenges following 9/11/01 that wasn't going to happen regardless of who was President. A President can do only so many things at once. |
