Bush's Better World - His Overlooked Successes on Foreign Policy and Scurity

If you asked Americans to list President Bush's foreign policy and national security accomplishments, you'd likely get some laughs - surely some snarky comments. Perhaps, at best, a short list.

But, in truth, there are a number of great successes. So as the Bush administration gets ready to exit the national and world stage in the coming days, it's time to give credit where credit's due.

It's not just by chance that there hasn't been another terrorist strike here at home since the 9/11 attacks at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and in the skies over Pennsylvania - more than seven years ago now. While far from perfect in execution, the Bush administration pulled out the stops in fighting terror at home and abroad, which, prior to 9/11, had been considered by many to be little more than a law enforcement problem.

Remember those votes for GWB as what’s left of the Republican Party (aka the RINO Party) rushes to suck up to Comrade 0bama to destroy what’s left of our Republic.

The fact is, two legs of that infamous ‘Axis of Evil’ are still alive and kicking, the author of this article had the audacity to say (among other foolish utterances) that:

“Washington did get Pyongyang to agree to end all its nuke programs.”

To which I say ‘WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?!?’

And then there was this laugher:

“Even Pakistan is doing a better job recently in fighting the Taliban and al Qaeda in its border areas with Afghanistan.”

Uh huh.

Yes, GWB is going down in history for sure. As another big-spending loser from Texas, and just like LBJ, passing on an unfinished and ill-managed war to his successor who is even more inexperienced than was our boy George when he took the helm in January 2001.

His successes are vastly outweighed by his failures, and America is faced with a resurgent Russia led by his ol’ pal Pooty-Poot, whose soul Bush gazed at via those cold KGB-eyes and pronounced it ‘good’.

This is the same George W. Bush who abandoned the wise counsel of Ambassador John Bolton (throwing him under the bus no less), in favor of the foolishness of Condi the Piano Player who has proven that she has the Midas touch in reverse when it comes to foreign policy.

And let’s not forget that promise from GWB that America “would not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon”, unless he plans to take out Tehran’s nuclear capability in the next 7 days, he will be proven to be just another big talking blowhard.

Let the BushBots gnash their teeth and vent their spleens.
