Against all odds, and despite the usual drumbeat of criticism, President George W. Bush has had a very good year. The troop surge in Iraq is succeeding. America remains safe from terrorist attacks. And the Goldilocks economy is outperforming all expectations.
At his year-end news conference, President Bush stated with optimism that the economy is fundamentally sound, despite the housing downturn and the sub-prime credit crunch.

I am a little confused. When did Bush veto all those bloated spending for the past six years?
I would not say that Bush had a good year. I would say that the Dems had a bad year, which is par for the course in the case of the Dems.
How convenient.
The fiction around the so-called palestinian state was payback to Tony Blair. It will never happen because the bar has been set so high, no party can abide by it.
Maybe you can turn this into an immigration thread, onedoug, or maybe I’ll just wish you a wonderful Christmas and be done with it, and I do.
is it just me or is everybody using the word surge alot more lately. I think its mostly the leftist making fun of bush so everything has a surge now.
“Look at me, I have BDS!”
You know what to eat and you know what to do after.
Bush had a great year. Found the right general, turned Iraq around. That is absolutely huge.
Merry Christmas to All!
Next year in Jerusalem.
