But Bush acted boldly. He liberated Kuwait with force in 1991, even as he was careful not to march all the way to Baghdad and become enmeshed with the internal politics of the Iraqi state.

It would have been better had Bush hesitated long enough for Saddam to have invaded Saudi Arabia and processed 10,000 Saudi Princes through his plastic shredders.

It would be a more peaceful world. The Towers would still be up and you could still chuckle about the whiny Muslims complaining about Disneys Alladin.

FloatingRock. You’re an idiot. We’re not talking about George W. Bush.

What difference, at this point, does it make? : )

You’re right, but my criticism of Bush 43 is still valid.

FED stats conclusively prove that the economic recovery that a certain pResident from Arksansaw later claimed credit for actually began in March of 1991, or 18 months before he was even elected.

I know. But politics is perception. Clinton and his campaign team ranted about “the worst economy in 50 years” incessantly until people really did think we were in a borderline depression. Truth is Obama would’ve given his left nut(assuming Moochelle let him borrow it) to have run for reelection with the kind of economy Bush 41 had in 1992.

It was the perception that the economy was in the toilet(and his alleged lack of concern over it) that brought him down in 1992. Well, that and Ross Perot.

But of course, the Democrat Media absolutely could not “report” that Inconvenient Truth, so they suppressed it, in order to defeat Pappy Bush with their Democrat-a Democrat they didn’t even know the name of yet.

Belatedly, Democrat House Organ “the New York Times” finally admitted that in fact, the “Clinton Recovery” has begun 18 months before they got him elected.

They did so in an editorial in…1999. They said the recovery was “unrecognized at the time”, but what they really meant was “unreported at the time.”

Dr. Goebbels would be so proud of them. Mission Accomplished!

Now it’s time to recognize that Obama is an absolutely unprecedentedly shamefully craptastic disastrous clusterfark of a foreign policy failure… As consistent with his domestic policy too.
