Exactly! As a rule I would not respond to this crap because it's not worthy of my time nor intellect. . .But in this case I will make an exception

What those who have posted thus far unfavorably of Bush (evil, village idiot, ect.) don't realize is that thier castigation of a wartime president even a victorious or worthy cause -- it's hardly new.

World War I and its aftermath destroyed Woodrow Wilson. FDR's closest election was his fourth, just as the war was turning for the better (a far better fate than his coalition partner Winston Churchill, who was thrown out of office before the final victory that he had done so much to ensure). Truman did not seek re-election in the mess of Korea. Vietnam destroyed Lyndon Johnson and crippled Nixon. Bush's father found no lasting thanks for his miraculous victory in the Gulf war, and Clinton's decision to put down Serbian genocide -- a victory obtained without the loss of a single American life -- didn't help him one iota when impeachment neared.

Our generals become heroes despite the loss of life (Sherman, Grant, Patton, MacArthur, Schwarzkopf, Franks, Petraeus, ect.) but our presidents -- rarely do they find any appreciation even in victory.
