Well put John, and he should have put all the energy and world wide good will and support and wiped out all of the Taliban in Afghanistan. We needed the head of Bin Ladin on a pole. He failed to do that and look at all the mess he has created.songsmith wrote:Possibly the GWB administration's biggest failure was a failure to capitalize on events.

The thing that really makes him a truely failed President is that he ran as a Conservative and governed like a Liberal, outspending the Clinton era even if you do not take into account the Iraq illegal war. This country may never recover from this mess. Hill, Oboy and the McChurian candidate will compound the troubles each in their own ways.
I know Ron Paul will not win but I will vote for him on principle alone. I hope it will start a movement towards a more Constitutional government, which is the only salvation for this 230 year experiment.
