And, who is largely responsible for this fine mess of a popular attitude? GWB, who couldn't explain the rationale for a strategically-sound move into Iraq, then proceeded to screw it up tactically and finally managed to embolden Syria and Iran while ignoring his own border and political base.
Exactly. GWB’s legacy is failed leadership which strategicly undermined the neccessary strategic moves he had to do.
Americans do not get a pass for supposedly “not understanding” the world, the stakes, our enemies tactics and reasons, military history and realities, and war.
They do not need to be coddled, begged, and explained to any more than they already have since 9/11, by this Pres,Tony Blair, John Howard, Dick Cheney, and on and on, they have done nothing but for 6 years running.
Americans have decided they can’t take it anymore, its too tough, and want peace and love, their gas prices low, their health care paid for, and no war on TV.
Terrorists are mean, and we no longer want to make them mad, so its time to just arrest, give them a trial, and send them to jail.
Hell, Americans are more worried about Global Warming. Now the weather is something they are willing to FIGHT!
When your boogyman GWB is gone, you will still have your fellow Americans, (who btw have been voting in pro-illegal pols EVEN in the border States for a decade now)
