not to mention, bush wasn't the real instigator of many of the atrocities associated with him.. for the most part he was simply Cheney's pawn.

I've felt this way for a good long while. I always felt that Cheney was the one "pulling the strings"...Bush was just taking his advice.

HE changed health care reform and introduced NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND which i applaud him for. wasnt that a waste of money. when his own party told him that the war in iraq wasnt going well and to end it, HE didnt want to. HE tried to sell the ports of Dubay to Arabia . It doesnt matter if he had senate approval or not, he still fucked up pretty bad. He sat down for 7 minutes when they told him we were under attack. Ive been hearing it alot on the news that he is or may be the worst president in history, but apparently there wrong.
I'm not going to argue about the American government with an individual who can't even properly speak English.

Yes, I agree.
Still, either way you look at it, it's not entirely Bush's fault.
Personally I think he (or Cheney) was a great president, and did what needed to be done.

Namely sending the country to war. I think if Gore had gotten office, we would still be sitting on our butts.

In retaliation of being attacked.

By who exactly?

There were no Iraqis on the planes that were used in the terrorist attacks on 9/11 and there was no real connection between Al Qaeda and Iraq at the time we went to war.

Actually from George Bush himself. He said his "biggest regret" in office was going to war in Iraq based on bad intelligence.
