Not after 2006. By then, the neocon argument had fallen apart. There were no weapons of mass destruction. Iraq wasn’t harboring terrorists. And our invasion wasn’t a walk in the park.
In 2006, we lost the House and the Senate. And, two years later, we lost the White House.
Losing the House, the Senate and the White House = loser.
So do you mean every president who has a House and Senate from his own party when he takes office and then loses both the House and the Senate to the opposition party during his term — is a loser?
And Bush made the mistake of listening to Colin Powell and tried that nation building crap in Afghanistan, twenty years of death and misery for nothing.
We should have killed bin laden, punished the taliban and any other terrorist we encountered and left that rat hole within months, a year at most.
