This overlooks the REALITY that George W. Bush is now, right now, as we speek, already prooven himself to be the greatest military leader of my lifetime.
From Kabul to Baghdad, he's defeated 2 of our declared enemies in the course of 18 months with an amazingly low casualty rate. From a military point of view, Bush doesn't have a single credible critic.
Also, who had the record of going around in "free fire zones" and killing anything that moved? Wasn't Bush.
