You have to give W credit for one thing in Iraq

He sure made his father's actions seem intelligent . . .

I mean, didn't 41 say something to the effect that, had we gone in and taken out Saddam Hussein in 90/91, we would still be in Iraq to this day?

And now, we're going to be in Iraq, waiting for things to get peaceful, at least into the next pResident's term (if there are elections in 08 . . . martial law, ya know . . .)

But it is really his incompetence that we had the 1st unnecessary war. Saddam did let Shrub I know that he was going to invade Iraq. And the bases in Saudi Arabia led to the rise of OBL. I shudder to think at the potential terrorist we have created with this war.....

Not that I'm a fan of his or anything, just as a human being, it must be very difficult to watch your own son and namesake f*ck up like no one has ever f*cked up before. GWB will go down in history as one of the worst presidents ever, and the Bush name will be ruined.

Back then, who knew that the GHWB administration was a golden age of Republican leadership?

You know, when you look at the Bush family tree, maybe Darwin was wrong....

He successfully pulled off Desert Storm, he signed a civil rights bill, and he raised taxes when it was necessary. Aside from Iran-contra I find it hard to think of reasons to hate him.

If only he hadn't had sex with Barbara that night.

He murdered 3000 Panamanians to get Noriega on bullshit charges!

On December 15, 1989, Noriega sought and was given by the legislature the title of chief executive officer of the government. The Noriega-led assembly declared that a state of war with the United States existed. The next day Panamanian soldiers killed an unarmed U.S. Marine officer dressed in civilian clothes.

Retaliation by the United States was quick and decisive. On December 17, U.S. President George Bush ordered troops to Panama, with the subsequently announced aims of seizing Noriega to face drug charges in the United States, protecting American lives and property, and restoring Panamanian liberties. The initial attack took place in darkness on the morning of December 20 and was focused primarily on Noriega's headquarters in Panama City. U.S. forces quickly overcame most organized resistance, but in the following days numerous Panamanian soldiers and civilians looted shops in Panama City and Colón, and some 2,000 U.S. reinforcements were flown in to help establish order. The number of Panamanians killed in the operation was estimated at 200-300 combatants (soldiers and paramilitaries) and some 300 civilians; 23 U.S. soldiers also were killed. Hundreds from both nations were wounded.

On the first day of the invasion, Endara and his two vice presidents were sworn in to head the government of Panama. Noriega took refuge in the Vatican nunciature (embassy) in Panama, until he surrendered to U.S. authorities on January 3, 1990, and was then transported to Miami, Florida. There he stood trial, was convicted on a host of charges, and was sentenced to a U.S. prison. In Panama and also France, Noriega was charged with various crimes, including murder, but no enduring efforts were made to have him extradited.
