We could have won this thing outright in about 2 years, maybe less, had our guys not been forced to fight with one hand tied behind their backs. I blame that directly on GWB. But nobody in the White House gets this. And I mean nobody.

No disrespect intended, but I'm not buying that. We have been fighting a war in two tiny nations, sustaining minimal deaths relative to all other wars in this nation's history. All of this is happening in the context of a much larger strategic theater that includes the entire middle east, as well as defeating the public thinking and propaganda of Old Europe and liberals in the USA. On top of that, we have protected the homeland from further attacks.

My point is that the area of military fighting is in a small geographic area of the real war and has allowed us to identify our real enemies geopolitically.

Get off the administration's back. We have a great economy and we feel generally safe. Can the man get no credit at all?

I give GWB credit for reducing taxes and going into both Iraq and Ashcanistan. But I fault him for not using sufficient force, which has delayed the success we see today. So to that extent I will *not* get off their backs.
