And your conclusions about the period from 2001 to 2009 that you people ran things are what?
People with your ideological bent totally blew it. Failed in foreign policy at every turn, failed in domestic policy, damned near bankrupted the whole world. Got 4500 Americans killed for the lies of the President and Vice President. And tried to fight two wars while reducing taxes. About as fiscally stupid as is possible to be. But you were right there cheering for the whole ball of idiocy.
Do you ever stop repeating things from people dumber than you?
First, I don't know who "you people" are. I wasn't in the government then.
You weren't voting then? I didn't realize you were that wet behind the ears.
Let's see:
Dismantled al Qaeda
Really? Then why are all the security measures we have in place neccessary?
Overthrew Saddam Hussein
At the cost of about 4500 American lives and 3 trillion dollars. Was it worth it?
Installed a stable Iraqi regime, despite the conviction on the Left it was impossible
You call what is going on in Iraq stable? Really?
Overthrew the Taliban and denied al Qaeda safe havens in that country
The Taliban are still a major force in Afghanistan, we lose our sons and daughters to them on a daily basis. And Al Queda is also there, just not as openly as prior to the start of the Afghan war.
Took us out of the stupid and archaic ABM treaty
And that helped us how? Are you telling me that we have a good ABM system?
Brought about the second largest growth in the U.S. economy post WW2
What total bullshit. Meltdown Monday was the culmination of the Bush and Republicon economic policies.
Brought us out of a potentially severe recession brought on by the dot com bust and 9/11
LOL. Potentially? Potentially Bush Jr. had a single braincell in his head. Potentially Cheney had some morals.
Things began going downhill when the Dums took Congress and Bush tried reaching across the aisle and working with them. Unlike Obama who wants to go it alone all the time.
Bush, reaching across the aisle?
Were you saying something, there, Ole Rocks in the Head?
