With a 25% approval rating and shoes flying in his direction.
With about 75% of the media being anti-Bush, I'm surprised his approval rating was that high.
Also, his approval rating was higher in Dec., 2003 than Obama's is in Dec., 2011.

Probably 90% of the media was anti-Bush (they are the ones, after all, with the best access to facts). I'm surprised his approval rating was that high too, but for other reasons.
In reality, we lost when it came to Iraq, We lost so many lives, the Iraqis lost over 1 million people. there will never be a winner in that equation. This doesn't even look at the trillions+ spent there, the back door deals that had our politicians pocketing millions if not billions at the cost of our young people.
Can he say mission accomplished, I guess so but that would be the reference to the Bush administration getting what they wanted.
Our troops performed well and did what was requested of them, it should have never been asked of them. We have a focus on Afghanistan now which is likely where our focus should have been ( or Saudi Arabia) We have accomplished some good things (for us) but who is to say what it will cost us?
There was definitely no tie or loss, but also not such a great win either.
Nice try at deflection. Try READING my post again. I asked what will Obama declare, not what you think.
Being you posted stats, how about backing them up?
And keep in mind both DEMS AND repubs voter for the actions. Saying it is all Bush's fault is being disingenuous. But, I am not surprised.
Only the libs try to re-define words, "it depends what your definition of is, is".
It is proven FACT that Saddam deceived the WORLD about his programs.
it is also a fact that he intended to re-start his nuclear program as soon as the U.N lifted its sanctions on Iraq.
It's also a fact that most of the world could coexist perfectly well with Ba'athist Iraq, but neoconized America simply wasn't interested in coexistence.
