We had the USS Cole, Cobalt towers , the First Bombing of the WTT.

Like or not and history support President Bush , he made the right decision. Now the road of Freedom and the preservation of peace is not easy. President actually fire Rumsfeld and change direction in Iraq that by the end of the Bush second term there was relative peace.

Bush took on a recession and we as a country enjoyed prosperity, until the housing crisis. Which could be argued that was caused by Senior Democrats. We all know the players. Bush actually worked with Dems and passed Democratic sponsor bills. Ted Kennedy Remember?

Its taken 6 year for Obama to turn the economy what it took Bush by the 3 year of his 1st term.

Bush Decisive, very much. Obama weak on leadership and very bad policy.

Amen and God Bless You.

You think future historians will look at the Iraq war as the right decision? That's an interesting point of view.

When you start getting into splitting definitions of words, you may be losing the argument - ("It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is.")

Decisiveness is not a virtue when you rip it out of any meaningful context.

The President himself said We did not fine WMD's

So that means HE(not me, but the president himself) defined them as nukes.

SO how does it mean im losing an argument by defining the word by the Presidents own definition ?

You obviously did not comprehend the article;

"The United States had gone to war declaring it must destroy an active weapons of mass destruction program. Instead, American troops gradually found and ultimately suffered from the remnants of long-abandoned programs, built in close collaboration with the West."

"In case after case, participants said, analysis of these warheads and shells reaffirmed intelligence failures."


This is a far, far cry from the "active" WMD program Bush claimed Iraq had.

Even former Sec of Defense Gates' stated in his book Duty, that there were no WMDs in Iraq.
