Oh, let's face it. Nothing that GWB does will get him good press. It will always be negative. I can see the headlines
"Iraq is free, the terrorists have all been killed. The government is working. But look how many innocent people GWB killed. Over 2800 troops died unnecessarily because of GWB. Bush lied, people died" (this is all hypothetical, mind you).
God could come down from the heavens and proclaim GWB the greatest leader of the free world and the MSM would spin it somehow and say that GWB was doing secret deals with the Jews and he must be impeached.
The Bush administration has done what they have realizing the L/MSM controls the American majority. All he can do is strongly make statements as things unfold that back his statements. America as Europe is stuck on stupid. Has been for a long time. That is just the way things played out.
