unless of course you call unilateral withdrawal from a few treaties achievement That was, in fact, a major accomplishment, one which removed a roadblock to perhaps the greatest peace initiative ever undertaken by the United States -- SDI. But one more example of true leadership.

Al, unless of course you call unilateral withdrawal from a few treaties achievement. It depends on the treaty. But I am just curious, which treaties (I guess it means more than one) did Bush unilaterally withdraw from? Joe

..unless of course you call unilateral withdrawal from a few treaties achievement. What I think you are referring to I would call achievements. 1 - Withdrawal from the ABM treaty. It's was in our countries best interest to withdraw from the treaty, and in any case the treaty included a provision for withdrawal. We did not unilaterally go back on our word. 2 - Kyoto - It was also in our interests not to go along with this proposed treaty, and in any case nothing was ever ratified by the Congress so we were not bound by the agreement. Congress would have been unlikely to ever ratify it, and many other countries had also not ratified it. Tim
