Thanks to Dubya's "free trade" agreements

There were NAFTA and GATT, I'm remembering they were both under Clinton#1, but you'll have to refresh me on any "free trade" agreements Bush made?

"Thanks to Dubya's "free trade" agreements"

I had a better list, which seems to have gone missing. So here's a quick re-creation:
2001 Jordan FTA
2004 (CAFTA-DR) Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua) and the Dominican Republic)
2004 Chile FTA
2004 Singapore FTA
2005 Australia FTA
2006 Bahrain Free Trade Agreement (FTA)
2006 Colomba FTA
2006 Morocco FTA
2007 Peru FTA
2009 Oman FTA

In addition there are 'informal' free trade agreements under to aegis of the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) (part of the Executive Office of the President). The head of USTR is the U.S. Trade Representative, a Cabinet member who serves as the president’s principal trade advisor, negotiator, and spokesperson on trade issues.

Trade policies with China, India, Japan to name a few are transacted through USTR.
