Look back to the day on the Navy carrier when everyone here thought he was the best thing since cinammon toast. He declared the fighting was over, we had taken Iraq.

You do have a short memory!

Praise for President Bush was the only thing to be found on FR.

Your memory does not serve you correctly.

President Bush did not declare the fighting was over in Iraq. He declared the end of major combat.

You sound appreciative that the President is no longer the best thing since 'cinnamon toast.'

Should've checked your home page, so pardon the question if it is answered there. Has a major war ever occurred during your lifetime?

You seem so....impatient.

Well, most of us listened to his speech. We all knew that the fighting wasn't over, just the major combat. We also listened to the first speech he made that said this was going to be a long war. I don't know about you, but I believed him and still do.

This didn't build up overnight and it won't be defeated overnight.

Even here on this site, all people seem to focus on is what he has done wrong, very little credit for what he as done right.

This man went through the most trying transition period in history, right after he got in office, our plane was taken by the Chinese, a few months after that we were attacked. Our military had been desimated to 40% of it's strength, most of our cruise missiles had been used up and not replaced, and still, in just 2 years he has freed Afghanistan, freed Iraq, cut our taxes, passed partial birth abortion laws, fought a congress who has been filibustering judges (again first time in history) and all anyone can do is complain.

Sorry, I don't have a lot of patience with people who can only see the bad.

BTW, the only reason you heard so much praise here for the carrier landing is because it was an act of personal courage.
