Oh come on, I just heard a Democratic analysis say Bush did nothing special and any idiot could have successfully waged this so-called war on terrorism.

This is the new spin from the Democrat Party talking points memo. I'm hearing it more and more often lately.

Well, if it was so easy, why didn't (or couldn't?) Clinton do it? If the left says it is easy, they condemn Clinton to being pretty incompetent, right? Right!!

That's a pretty amazing statement.

I will agree with the Dims that any idiot could have managed that EP-3E incident with China, all Bush did was stay firm and cautious (of course, the Dims criticized Bush during the crisis, but that's because they're mo-rons of the first order, they're stupider than just "any idiot.")

But this situation--it's very different. It's incredibly complex, he's got a few strong allies, a few friends, and a huge number of potential allies/enemies, especially in the Arab world, where we need allies the most. Bush has managed to make friends with Russia, keep China out of the conflict (so far), he's managed to cement ties with England, make France look bad, get Musharraf to play ball, gotten the Northern Alliance to act somewhat civilized, and gotten advisors to lead their ragtag army into battle successfully, to liberate several major cities from the extreme oppression of the Taliban, to give greater rights to the Afghans of both genders, he's eliminated many top Al-Quaeda commanders, he's decimated and assimilated the once-thought-to-be-mighty Taliban--he's even gotten the price of oil to fall while so many of the OPEC countries are filled with rage towards us. That's a pretty big set of achievements, for a "dunce."
