Big difference. Clinton's military moves were wiser, more measured and more effective (except for missing Osama at his camps, but Bush hasn't gotten him either 5 years after 9-11).

The Iraq War for example, if handled properly might not have been anywhere near the costly catastrophe it's turned out to be. In fact it might not have even needed to be a "war".

The key is cooperation with allies. And you don't get that by lying to them, mocking them, threatening them and hogging all the oil contracts for your cronies. You get that way by doing only what's honestly smart and sensible, and by careful planning for the outcome.

The Iraq War effort was a big lie compounded by some of the worst military planning since Waterloo. The fact that Bushies told so many big lies to get us into that country means that they alone are responsible. And it is now every patriotic American's job to hold them accountable and insist we fix the problems. Starting with new leadership in DC.

So, the reality is the "out" party is always going to bitch about what the "in" party is doing. Pretty much what I have observed all my years. And, just what I am observing right now with the likes of you. Not much gets accomplished but it's good sport for those of you that don't really have a life.

Of course, there is a slight problem with your thesis. The in party of the 1990s was actually getting something done. The in party of the 21st century is on a destructo raid. Its quite incredible how you all try to make the comparison of apples to apples when in reality there is no comparison between apples and rotten lemons.

Don't you get tired trying to mask the reality and pretend its not so bad when its horrific?
