This didn't build up overnight and it won't be defeated overnight.
Even here on this site, all people seem to focus on is what he has done wrong, very little credit for what he as done right.
This man went through the most trying transition period in history, right after he got in office, our plane was taken by the Chinese, a few months after that we were attacked. Our military had been desimated to 40% of it's strength, most of our cruise missiles had been used up and not replaced, and still, in just 2 years he has freed Afghanistan, freed Iraq, cut our taxes, passed partial birth abortion laws, fought a congress who has been filibustering judges (again first time in history) and all anyone can do is complain.
Sorry, I don't have a lot of patience with people who can only see the bad.
I am seeing some pretty negative things going on in Iraq, but I have to agree with you. Bush has done some amazing work in a very short period of time. I am just concerned now that we have politicians getting involved in battles for cities. We cannot do that. It never worked in the past until after a war had been won and then the military had to be 'reigned' in. Until there is absolute victory, you have to let the military do what they do best; fight and win wars. They did not clear Fallujah, and now it is apparent, as many of us have said, that the politicos have gotten involved. I do not have faith in our politicians fighting our wars. I do have faith in the military.
Regardless of how many good things Bush has done, if he starts tying the hands of the military, he is making an unwise choice.
