success vs failure in bush's administration.

I did 2 google searches. One for "bush administration has succeeded" and one for "bush administration has failed".

There were 4,750 entries for "...failed"
There were 364 entries for "...succeeded"

Now it's pretty obvious that when one speaks of failure they mean failure.
On the other hand, let's review some of the entries for success.

the Bush administration has succeeded in eroding the moral legitimacy of the War on Terror

the Bush Administration has succeeded in decimating the federal budget

the Bush administration has succeeded in uniting
disparate Iraqi groups in opposition to Washington's occupying forces.

The Bush administration has succeeded in making the world a much more dangerous place, replacing diplomacy with dictatorship, co-operation with conflict and reconciliation with rancour.

the Bush administration has succeeded only in creating another failed state that can serve as a staging ground for more international terror

the Bush administration has succeeded in moving OSHA yet one more step toward becoming a completely toothless tiger.

the Bush administration has succeeded at turning America into exactly what it is the rest of the world was afraid we were becoming, the world's biggest bully.

the Bush Administration has succeeded in freezing the United States into several no-win positions.

The Bush Administration has succeeded in dividing the world at a viral rate.

If the mission was to destabilize Iraq and create a new front for terrorists in the Middle East, the Bush Administration has succeeded grandly.

the Bush administration has succeeded in weakening most of the environmental rules that emerged from the awareness raised from the first Earth Day.

The Bush administration has succeeded in convincing itself that it is going to rescue the world by making it more like America and less like it is.

The Bush Administration has succeeded in "changing the tone" back to the days of pessimism, when partisan politics pitted businesses against clean air and water.

the Bush administration has succeeded in razing the image of the nation to the ground in a few years thanks to its wrongful policies and they inflicted damage upon America much more than what Osama bin Laden did.

That sure is some record of "success".
