The GWB administration was filled with war criminals or incompetent baboons.

Again, I respectfully disagree, and take umbrage to binning into those two choices. Decisions were made based on what was known at the time. Good people were involved in many of those decisions. I don't think its fair to paint all those who supported the troops during that post 911 time as they went forth to prevent such an attack from ever happening again as either criminals or baboons. As much as I have grown to dislike GWB in years since then, I am still grateful it was a Bush administration in place on 911 and not a Gore administration.

The weeks and months after 9/11 were the last time the Bush administration had any credibility at all. From that point on, it was a disaster ... a totally unnecessary invasion of Iraq, no clear goals in Afghanistan, a massive new Medicare prescription drug entitlement, the intrusive meddling of the PATRIOT Act, a Federal budget completely out of control, $140/barrel oil, etc.

The best thing I can say about GWB right now is that his presidency ended on such an awful note that he destroyed Jeb Bush's political career on the spot.
