>> There is very little proof to what you claim. We've been 7 years without another terrorist attack. Almost everyone agreed we would be attacked again, but bigger, within that time frame. He has decimated AQ -- they are relegated to living in caves and communicating by runner. While UBL hasn't been caught/killed, damned near every other important figure in AQ has been. We HAVE won the war in Iraq, for the most part -- although there will continue to be some violence as it winds down. Proof? There is no proof that would satisfy you, but if one looks factually at the situation it is clear that there are significant accomplishments. Sure, everyone's tired of the war, so it is no surprise Bush is unpopular.

Accommodating liberals? You outdo yourself. There has been little to no accommodation. What do you call teaming up with Ted Kennedy to pass no child left behind? What do you call the prescription drug benefit? .. since 2006, he has very actively used his veto. Good. Thats what the veto is for. That said, I do believe Bush has done a few things exceptionally well. He HAS protected the nation from further terrorist attacks, he HAS decimated AQ, he HAS corrected earlier errors and won the war in Iraq, he HAS taken back our sovereignty from the UN, he HAS stood up to the liberal congress on SOME issues, and he WILL be remembered favorably for these things. There is very little proof to what you claim. There's no proof we haven't been attacked, even tho we were promised more attacks by AQ? .....a poor little rich boy who could not find his niche until politics catapulted him into power. He had a comfortable niche with a baseball team. No reason he had to go into politics at all.
