Ok so how does one measure this? What you have stated is not a measurable goal. It has got to be a lot more in depth with constant smaller goals leading up to the big goal. Not a huge clusterfuck and then hoping to eventually make it to the big goal.

Furthermore, Bush is accountable to the people, not congress.
Right, but congress "represents" the people...theoretically.

And the people relected him, so he can do what he wants till his term is over.
No matter how bad it is for the country?

Finally, all congress has to do is not pass a funding bill. Then the troops come home. But, the constitution puts the President in charge of military operations. Congress shut up about strategy.
Well I think the president has already failed in the strategy department. The american people want change and that is what congress is reflecting.
