Bush came into office with dreams of an historic presidency
Once 9-11 occurred, Bush had his shot at being one of the greatest Presidents in history. He had unlimited support both at home and abroad to fight terrorism. He instituted the Bush doctrine where he would reshape the Islamic world as a democracy
He looked at Afghanistan and Iraq as the keys. Instil Democracies by force and Iran, Syria, Libya would follow. A Democratic Domino Theory with Bush as its founder and Americans as liberators. It would be over in a few months
Instead he got civil wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He destabilized the region and made Iran more powerful. Instead of being treated as liberators, we were treated as unwanted conquerors. 6000 American dead and trillions in debt.
At home, he ran up unchecked debt that he passed on to Obama in tax cuts and unpaid wars. When the economy tanked, he followed republican doctrine and let it self correct. The result was an economic collapse that he had no idea what to do. Banks collapsing, GDP tanking, 700,000 jobs lost each month, auto industry collapsing
That is the legacy of George W Bush
Jr. never changes.
Iraq and al Qaeda had no operational ties. Without such ties, the US Congress did not authorize the president to use military force.
No WMD were produced by Iraq after the first gulf war. Furthermore without the ability to strike the US with a WMD, Iraq was not an immediate threat to the world remaining super power. Without such a threat, the US Congress did not authorize the president to use military force.
President Bush(43) will go down as having made the worst military blunder in US history. He is a failed president.
The Iraq Resolution or the Iraq War Resolution (formally the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002,[1] Pub.L. 107243, 116 Stat. 1498, enacted October 16, 2002, H.J.Res. 114) is a joint resolution passed by the United States Congress in October 2002 as Public Law No: 107-243, authorizing military action against Iraq.
Damn reality...
Indeed.

Well the first half of your statement is right, the rest was about winning power in DC, amazing how low people will go to win...
This is where we all lost and the sad part is how many of you can't see it...
It would be over in a few months, where do you come up with this...

We can start with "Mission Accmplished"
Then move on to the Bush administrations refusal to put more troops on the ground to stabilize the nation

GWB never said mission accomplished
But Bush didnt say that. In fact, in his speech aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, Bush declared: Our mission continues. It is true that Bushs speech, in which he announced the end of major combat operations, was far too triumphant about U.S. military achievements. But he never famously declared that Americas mission in Iraq had been accomplished.
On the contrary, he said that following the fall of Baghdad, now our coalition is engaged in securing and reconstructing that country... We have difficult work to do in Iraq. We're bringing order to parts of that country that remain dangerous. Bush's goal in Iraq was never purely military his mission was to bring freedom and democracy to a vital part of the Middle East.
Here are some more quotes from the speech:
■The transition from dictatorship to democracy will take time, but it is worth every effort. Our coalition will stay until our work is done and then we will leave and we will leave behind a free Iraq.
■Our mission continues. Al Qaida is wounded, not destroyed.
■The battle of Iraq is one victory in a war on terror that began on September the 11th, 2001 and still goes on.
■America and our coalition will finish what we have begun.
another liberal lie to seek power
the banner Bush had NOTHING to do with

GWB never said mission accomplished
But Bush didn’t say that. In fact, in his speech aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, Bush declared: “Our mission continues.” It is true that Bush’s speech, in which he announced the end of major combat operations, was far too triumphant about U.S. military achievements. But he never “famously declared that America’s mission in Iraq had been accomplished.”
On the contrary, he said that following the fall of Baghdad, “now our coalition is engaged in securing and reconstructing that country... We have difficult work to do in Iraq. We're bringing order to parts of that country that remain dangerous.” Bush's goal in Iraq was never purely military – his mission was to bring freedom and democracy to a vital part of the Middle East.

So was the showboating jet landing on the carrier and jumpsuit
Not even comparable, JRK.
Your man is a war criminal who has led to Iraq allying with Iran and sending aid to Syria.

Funny, Bill Ayers says that Obama is a war criminal. Putin thinks Obama is an incompetent pussy, China is laughing all the way to the bank with our money and our technology,
We should not be in Syria in any way, but Obozo is sending troops to Jordan, whats next from your incompetent pussy boy?

Yea....Osama bin Laden was laughing at him too
One, your deflection is just that, a deflection from criminal Bush.
Two, I suspect Romney would have gotten involved much earlier.
I dislike neo-conservation but the reactionary far right would destroy America from the inside if possible.

obama only got osama because of the intel begun under Bush. He only gave the OK on the hit because he knew it would come out that he (like Clinton) had him and let him go.
The world is laughing because Putin is a man and obama is a pussy boy. We are in worldwide danger with this incompetent fool as CIC.
But this thread is about the Bush legacy, Bush was not a great president, but he did an OK job under the circumstances following 9/11.
Bush is basically a good honest person, I cannot give either of those attributes to obama.

Bin Laden was laughing at Bush for eight years
He laughed so hard that he used not one, not two, not three....but FOUR jets to attack us
Only difference is that he did not stand in front of a banner saying "Mission Accomplished"

UBL may have laughed
but in the end GWB got him through the intel we gathered during the Bush years
And what did GWB do to cause that attack? do you realize that maybe the terrorist had something to do with it?
Jake keeps saying that , but not once will share his proof The US govt gave the conditions to remove Saddam from power The UN stated for the record on 1-27-2003 those conditions had been met
Bush was an honest man??? If you believe that I have a lovely ski resort in Miami I'd like to talk to you about.
Bush invaded Iraq so him and his buddies could profit. They outsourced supplying the troops in Iraq to their own companies and profitted from those associations. Cheney made millions through Haliburton. But they botched it. They destroyed schools, hospitals, and museums, and sold off the country's infrastructure to their friends.
It caused an incredible backlash inside Iraq and lead to the Iraqi's fighting back. They didn't liberate Iraq, they raped it. And they did it on a lie - Weapons of mass destruction.
