IIRC, back in teh day plenty of leftist peeps thought Reagan was worse than the anti Christ. Even after he died there were some liberal types adamant that Reagan was the worst president evar.
Bush, if twenty years from now Iraq is a peaceful tranquil Partner to the US, will be thought of in the highest regard. If Iraq melts back into a cesspool of islamist darkness (which the obama crowd is praying for and counting on) then he could become another carter...despised by most rational beings.
Im betting on the former
Ok... nobody is praying for Iraq to "melt back into a cesspool of islamic darkness". Also, I hope you meant "islamo-fascist" or "radical islamic", otherwise that just means you are prejudice against an entire religion, and the odd billion or so people that practice it peacefully.
Second, I don't know what you think the worth of "tranquil Partner to the U.S. is.... is it the 1.3 TRILLION dollars we've
borrowed from China in the past 3 years... Is it the 5,000 families that lost a son/husband/
wife/
mother to this tranquil partner that, as of right now, 78% of Americans
DO NOT WANT . Or is it worth the $490,133,741,999 that we've spent so far... at least as of the moment I wrote this. We've bankrupted our supposedly strong economy with this action, an action that has taken longer by 2 1/2 years
for zero return than World War TWO.
I personally thought it more useful to modernize the infrastructure and upgrade border security than to go to war on a second front on the other side of the planet. Pfff... but what do I know.
