W’s legacy

I voted for GWB in 2004 because I knew the liar and traitor John Kerry would be much worse. But GWB disappointed me in every way except on Iraq. He didn’t have to let the Dems and media browbeat him so much without fighting back. But he did. Worst of all was the way he let Iran walk. He’s left Barry to deal with their nukes and Barry doesn’t have the cojones, let alone the political backing.

So in that sense GWB was a lousy president and history (insofar as anyone is left to write it after the nukes start going off) will say so.

With that in mind, we’re going to damn the recession and fly ahead to D.C. on Mr. B.’s spring break in March. We’ll tour the Capitol, the White House, the museums, the zoo, the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials, and visit his grandfather’s grave in Arlington. Because, among other reasons, it seems to me to be perfectly possible that none of that will be around much longer. When the terrorists start setting off their Iranian nukes, D.C. very likely will be the first target.

UPDATE:  Nevertheless, I agree with Thomas Sowell. Bush was and is an honorable man.

Iraq is won

Independent correspondent Michael Yon on Bush’s major achievement with little to no Dem help:

"I’m with the 10th Mountain Division, and about half of the guys I’m with haven’t fired their weapons on this tour and they’ve been here eight months. And the place we’re at, South Baghdad, used to be one of the worst places in Iraq. And now there’s nothing going on."

Glad to see our troops did it before Barry and Hairplugs Joe could foul it up. The Afghan campaign will be enough for them.
