I agree with Jack Yes, this is criticism that Bush actually deserves, instead of the fantasy-based hysterics of the BDS crowd. The irony is, that the hysterics prevented any Republican-based push for reform when it might have done more good, 2 or 3 years ago.

I agree as well, but ...really wonder the Why's...I'm sure someday, we will know. Is it really the "nice guy" underneath? The farleft hated him before he took office, and violently said so. Was it that he really has tried to govern in the middle, and therefore felt awkward while meaning one thing, but because of politics, had to say another? Or was it because now with instant worldwide communications, he couldn't just act or talk or do anything without an immediate consequence. Lincoln, and FDR, and all Presidents until about 1980 at least had the ease of a few hours of time to deal with issues, without having the entire world on their necks. GWB has had the least amount of time of all. There is something to be said about a firm, and yet thoughtful President. But there is also something to be said about listening to your advisors, thinking it through, and then acting on it, rather than mull it for so long....i.e. Changing Generals in Iraq, or being up front about the situation with the FBI and CIA, as well as the State Department. It would have helped if the average American citizen had some kind of understanding of why individuals were backstabbing the Administration, what Fed organizations they were in, how many of them there were and for how long, and why it was allowed to continue.

One more talking head babbling on oh me oh my. What failed in Iraq? What is today's voice of Iran saying. SO 90% of peaceful Iraq is a failure. oh me oh my. Libby was convicted because dishonest men can use the law in dishonest ways. As they say the law is blind and the majority of Americans are blind and don't care. Walter Reed was on a base closure list. Some of it's facilities became run down and were run down for a long time. When did those using it complain and were complaints ignored? Oh the whining of the pathetic instant gratification clique, it never ends. I like President Bush, and I support him even more as I witness the whining of the pathetic instant gratification clique. President Bush is a man of honor and the only stumbling and bumbling is in the nonsense of the whining of the pathetic instant gratification clique.
