At one time America had the ability to do anything post 9/11 to fight back and destroy the Islamic threats but that has all been squandered from the “religion of piece” BS, rules of engagement to the total disaster of the Mideast. Bush and Obama were both equally pathetic.
While the initial stages of both Afghanistan and Iraq went quite well I will say I was disappointed in how Bush handled a very difficult war once we got past the invasions... but I would never put him on the same page as his successor. His politics stunk at times but he loved his country and didn’t try to fundamentally transform it.
