Not true with me. I think that this will go down in history with winning WWII and winning the Cold War. I would argue that it is above winning the Cold War (establishing a capitalist democracy in the Middle East would but better than we did with Russia).

That having been said, I am still disappointed is Bush with spending, prescription drugs, Miers, etc. But that is why the conservative movement is strong and liberals. We can disagree and debate issues and forge ahead with good well reasoned positions.

And all of this was accomplished over the stiff opposition of the Democrats, the media, and the world community.

I beg to differ. We are not "Gloomy about Bush's accomplishments". We are growing gloomy over the prospect of Bush's accomplishments being rolled back by the Democrats and their media's increasing pessimism. Watch any of the so call "news" outlet in this country and it looks like America is losing in Iraq. It looks like the Bush administration is falling apart. It looks like the Bush administration is rife with corruption. Some here have questioned President Bush's nomination of Harriett Meir's to the Supreme Court. AND many, me included are absolutely disgusted with the Republican party and it's so called leadership. however overall most conservatives are pretty darn happy with President Bush.
We are very worried about the prospect of the next President ending the war on terror much as Ike ended the Korean war with out victory and Ford abandoned the South Vietnamese to the mercy of the North Vietnam Communist.
I believe that as soon as the Democrats get a majority in either house of Congress or they can get enough liberal Republicans to vote with them, they will cut off funding for the war on terror.
At that point this nation will cease to be a viable deterrent against any form of aggression against any of our allies or even ourselves.

Try to remember that none of this is new. It is expected. They did it before. They attacked Reagan too. They mocked him and the Cold War too. Reagan had WORSE approval numbers then Bush has ever had at one point. Dont let the media hype get you down. America re-elected Bush. There is a good reason for that. History is repeating itself. The MSM is poltical motivated and as wrong on Bush and Iraq as they were on Reagan and the Cold War.

Mebbe they hold the Buchananite view that because the Iraq campaign had some Jooish influence it's just not worth it.
