President Bush, Wartime President and Commander in Chief has.......

1. Successfully executed two wars in the aftermath of 9/11/01: Afghanistan and Iraq. 50 million people who had lived under tyrannical regimes now live in freedom.


Neither war can be considered successfull yet, just because we are in the process of "rebuilding" means nothing...we will find out how successfull we have been after all forign troops pull out of both afganastan and iraq.



2. Saddam Hussein is now in prison. His two murderous sons are dead. All but a handful of the regime's senior members were killed or captured.


There was no legitimate reason to invade iraq in the first place. (and please dont mention those ever so elusive WMD that havent been found...)


3. Leader by leader and member by member, al Qaeda is being hunted down in dozens of countries around the world. Of the senior al Qaeda leaders, operational managers, and key facilitators the U.S. Government has been tracking, nearly two-thirds have been taken into custody or killed. The detentions or deaths of senior al Qaeda leaders, including Khalid Shaykh Muhammad, the mastermind of 9/11, and Muhammad Atef, Osama bin Laden's second-in-command until his death in late 2001, have been important in the War on Terror.


This is good, this is progress...mark one off in the win column


4. Disarmed Libya of its chemical, nuclear and biological WMD's without bribes or bloodshed.


Libya decided to disarm on their own, funny how you are trying to give bush credit for that one.


5. Continues to execute the War On Terror, getting worldwide cooperation to track funds/terrorists. Has cut off much of the terrorists' funding, and captured or killed many key leaders of the al Qaeda network.


And how many countries have publicly stated that they want nothing to do with bush and his war....the majority of them

[b]
6. Initiated a comprehensive review of our military, which was completed just prior to 9/11/01, and which accurately reported that ASYMMETRICAL WARFARE capabilities were critical in the 21st Century.[/]b

i know nothing about that...so...no comment


7. Killed the old US/Soviet Union ABM Treaty that was preventing the U.S. from deploying our ABM defenses.


And you think that is a good thing??? Treaties are in place for a reason...to keep peace...breaking treaties only leads to war...take a look back in history and see how many wars have come about because of broken treaties.


8. Has been one of the strongest, if not THE strongest friend Israel has ever had in the U.S. presidency.


Fuck them, let them handle their own problems, we have held their hands for long enough.


9. Part of the coalition for an Israeli/Palestinian "Roadmap to Peace," along with Great Britain, Russia and the EU.


Not a bad idea...will be interesting to see how much more blood will be shed.



10. Pushed through THREE raises for our military. Increased military pay by more than $1 billion a year.


Big numbers...what does that mean in per person terms?


11. Signed the LARGEST nuclear arms reduction in world history with Russia.


Good, this shit has got to start somewhere right. Another in the win column.


12. Started withdrawing our troops from Bosnia, and has announced withdrawal of our troops from Germany and the Korean DMZ.


Because they were needed for him to invade iraq...and its very likely that troops will go BACK to the DMZ....remember n korea is part of the axis of evil


13. Prohibited putting U.S. troops under U.N. command.


Dumb...just plain dumb. How is the UN supposed to be effective if every country that is a part of the UN doesnt do their part?


14. Paid back UN dues only in return for reforms and reduction of U.S. share of the costs.


sounds good to me...+1 in the win column


15. Earmarked at least 20 percent of the Defense procurement budget for next-generation weaponry.


Just what we need, more weapons....more shit to kill others...out with nukes, in with "next generation" weapons


16. Increased defense research and development spending by at least $20 billion from fiscal 2002 to 2006.


but cut money for education......makes you wonder huh


17. Ordered a comprehensive review of military weapons and strategy.


i guess we need to be more effecient killing machines


18. Ordered a review of overseas deployments.


no review needed, bring home the troops


19. Ordered renovation of military housing. The military has already upgraded about 10 percent of its inventory and expects to modernize 76,000 additional homes this year.


should have been done a long time ago +1


20. Is working to tighten restrictions on military-technology exports.


looks like we gonna be makin some uber secret stuff!


21. Brought back our EP-3 intel plane and crew from China without any bribes or bloodshed.


+1

22. Told the Congress and the world, "America will never seek a permission slip to defend the security of our country."


And the world was behind us until we invaded a country that made no threat to our countrys security.

+5 -17

good score!
