Bush who actually did crush the Taliban, Al Qaeda, Saddam

On the contrary, Bush's (albeit delayed and horribly botched) response to 9-11 and the post surge phase of the WOT are to his credit. Charles Taylor, I don't really give a shit about. Never have. Never will. Although I'm sure Liberia was just as tough a foe as Grenada.

Bush also cut taxes. Other than that, he was probably the worst president since Carter.

Horribly botched?

Did he hurt too many of your Taliban friends?

Every phase was incredible. Keep in mind, every single critic was proven wrong:

Levin: 10,000 troops die in Babdad in first six months
Biden: Iraqi troops will not be trained to supervise 2005 elections
Reid: The war is lost.

I can tell you why you don’t care about Liberia. Taylor killed more than 250,000 people. He sponsored horrific human crimes in Sierra Leone. His generals killed children in ritualistic acts before battle against civilians. His troops kicked around the schools of victims in post battle soccer matches.

Grenada was never on any human rights radar. Liberia had been a long term concern by almost everyone except you of course.

Liberia was probably closer to Somalia in difficulty. Unlike Bush and Clinton, This president was willing to see it through rather than cutting and running like Reagan, Carter, Clinton and Bush.

Keep in mind the military action on Liberia took place while we were invading Iraq. That is a huge step up on enemies believing we cannot defend two major fronts at once. We were active in Afghan and Iraqi war fronts and the US military still took out a leader stronger than Somalia.

It is not even close. As a military leader, Bush II surpasses everyone since Truman.
