We didn't have a terrorist attack here before 9/11 either, does he get credit for that also? There's a big difference between the terrorists and the Bush Presidency. The terrorists plan thoroughly, execute and get the job done whereas the Bush administration seem to just close their eyes and hit in all directions like a kid whacking at a pinata.
he got Oday and Usay killed
Whoopie doo and pray tell exactly what kind of threat were these two rapists to the security of the USA?
and Saddam captured,
And now what? Is there peace and tranquility in Iraq? Are our troops out of Iraq?
the Taliban are hiding in the hills,
Oh come on, the Taliban were in the hills years before we got there and they'll be in the hills long after we're gone. That's where these people live, for goodness sake. All they have to show in Afghanistan for all our sacrifices are a few well guarded enclaves where they sit around pretending to have a free democratic nation while the countryside belongs to the Taliban.
we have tax cuts
I'll grant you that I recall reading about them but until I see any positive effect on my financial well being I'm from Missouri.
and two good Supreme Court justices.
Only time will tell but I'll give you that one.
All of these things are common knowledge.
If the above are your reasons for rating him as one of our greatest presidents, all I can do is shake my head in amazement as to how little it takes to impress you.
I am sure you hold yourself up as a shining example.
Killing the two Hussein brothers WAS a big deal, especially to the Iraqis. Killing them and capturing Saddam made the Iraqis less fearful that the old regime would come back, and has allowed us to get a government and a constitution in Iraq. Personally, I feel a LOT safer with Saddam out of power (I suggest you read some of the documents jveritas has translated).
If the tax cuts didn't help you, I am sorry. MOST Americans were helped by those cuts, and the entire nation has benefited from the rebound that the economy has taken.
As far as the Taliban...they are NOT in charge of Afghanistan any more; a democratically elected government is. This is also a big deal, since Afghanistan has NEVER had an elected government. Rights for women in that country is also a big deal, although since you don't care about anything that doesn't affect you personally I can see why this is not important to you.
I had tried to be polite, but I see that insult and mocking are your preferred methods of discourse. I therefore am inclined to ignore anything further you have to say, as your arguments are simply "what do I get out of this?" and aren't worth the time it would take to answr you.
