[Leaning Right]

How can one declare 'he lost' something that hasn't even finished yet?

Right you are. The Global War on Terror isn't over yet. But it won't end well. Bush had a unique opportunity to completely eradicate radical islam right after 9/11, but he chose not to do it.

He won all the 'battles' on the battlefield.

Again, I agree. But he never delivered that desicive final blow. He never went all-in. Radical islam today should be as discredited as nazism was in 1945. But it's not!

Radical islam gains new supporters every day. That sure wasn't true of nazism in 1945. FDR and Churchill saw to that.

'chose not to' or 'was shut down by the other branches of government and the MSM ' ?

Let me ask you this... How exactly would you COMPLETELY ERADICATE 'radical islam' ?
