Yeah, right. See what your "brave" Dumbya and his equally criminal cabinet has done in Iraq, 3 years and 2300 dead US soldiers and 10000+ maimed US soldiers and 175000+ dead Iraqis and 500+ billion dollars later.

No one has done more to help terrorists than GW Bush. The old spin that he is "strong on terrorism" falls apart when you look at the results. And why should any politician be judged by rhetoric? It's the results that count, and only the results. Bush has now had 5 years to avenge 9-11. And look at what he has brought us. Things really are worse than they were in 2001 even after spending a half trillion bucks and 20,000 US troops killed and wounded. You bring up Carter and call him "weak" but he was plenty strong on many issues, including getting off Arab oil by investing heavily in clean fuels (Reagan killed all those clean fuels programs) and military ones. Carter was a Navy submarine commander. He was not a wimp. But he was the victim of some lousy results. Some his fault, but most a hangover from the Vietnam War and the Pan-Arabist uprisings against US oil company imperialism and US backing of Israel. The Arab countries flexed their muscles against the west for the first time. And especially after the US was weakened by the big drain in Vietnam, what could Carter do? Invade Iran? If that were an option why didn't reagan or Bush do it? Carter did what he could? He sent a daring rescue mission to grab the hostages. Unfortunately a sandstorm doomed the mission. Was Carter to blame for the sandstorm? No, but the results were humiliating. I might add that Reagan was humiliated in Lebanon and over his Iran-Contra scandals. Those were even worse disasters than Carter's rescue mission. But the worst of all is what we have now, the quagmire in Iraq. and that really is Bush's fault. It was his war and his war only.
