It’s not all Bush’s fault, 75% of the blame belongs to the demoRATS. If they regain the White House we can look forward to being forced to fight in the streets in our life time. Of course, this is if the demoRATS don’t sell us down the river in some sort of lame peace deal (appeasement).
You’re right of course. If Bush had even a touch of support from the dems in this war, when Iran gave up the nuclear program in 03, it would have been for real. And the “insurgency” in Iraq would have been over before it got started.
Nothing is more popular than success.
