Just take a look at his manipulation of the EPA. He has stymied, suppressed, and stalled action by the EPA. He has and the Republicans have stalled and scuttled multiple attempts by Democrats to pull together a comprehensive alternative energy legislation. His one Energy Act was focused on giving $13B in tax credits to oil companies making record profits. From an economics standpoint, those were incentives wasted. Nothing that Bush has done related to energy makes sense other than in the context of enriching the oil companies. As far as removing Saddam, why was he a big deal? The man was contained by our no-fly zones. We had reduced Iraq to a knat on our ass. I'm as happy as the next guy that he's gone, but at the cost of $1 trillion and more every year? We could have gotten far more benefit by using that money to get to energy independence.
