WOW! Ben S did it! He listed seventeen positive accomplishments since Bush took office in 2000!
Too bad all of those accomplishments were in IRAQ!
Maybe we should send him over there and let him be
President of Iraq. Because, since 2000, here's what Bush has done for the United States of America:
1. Illegally and unconstitutionally invaded another sovereign country that in no way threatened, provoked or attacked us;
2. Massacred tens of thousands of Iraqi citizens, including women and children, for no justifiable reason - to the horror of most of the civilized world;
3. Turned America into a police state wherein citizens are presumed guilty until proven innocent;
4. Tortured 'detainees' without regard to the rules of the Geneva Convention, and looked the other way as these people were physically, verbally, emotionally, psychologically, and sexually abused;
5. Tarnished our reputation as a world leader and global peacekeeper;
6. Put American taxpayers trillions of dollars in debt to finance an obscene 'war' just because he wanted to 'get even' with Hussein for humiliating his daddy during Desert Storm, and because Big Dick Cheney wants all the oil swimming underneath Iraq's sands so he and his Halliburton buddies can get richer and richer and richer;
7. Neglected the needs of America's homeless, disadvantaged, underprivileged, aged, sick, disabled, and hungry while playing "Robin Hood in Reverse", stealing from the poor and giving it all to the rich elitists, lobbyists, special interest groups and big businesses who - in turn - make generous (if not illegal) contributions to help keep the GOP in power;
8. Initiated failed economic policies which will result in a severe depression right after Bush leaves office (so the GOP can blame the Democrats);
9. Dismantled environmental laws designed to protect and preserve the delicate ecological balance between human beings, plants and other animals so we can all co-exist on this Earth;
10. Conspired with the most corrupt, evil, incompetent U.S. Congress in history to take a $3,300.00 cost-of-living pay increase while refusing to raise the minimum wage for 'common' citizens;
11. Used his family's influence to 'steal' an election (or two);
12. Lied to the American public and leaked information to the press whenever it conveniently fit his agenda;
13. Tried to censure the press whenever it publishes something he doesn't want to see in print;
14. Covered up his personal indiscretions involving military service (or lack thereof), drunk driving charges, and drug use;
15. Wasted America's time and money on useless non-binding resolutions on gay marriage and flag-burning, both political ploys to solidify his political base;
16. Created Homeland Security, one of the worst billion-dollar boondoggles ever to be crammed down taxpayers' throats;
17. Mismanaged the Katrina hurricane disaster at a cost of
billions of wasted dollars and a terrible cost to humanity (particular the poor);
18. Killed more than 2,500 U.S. soldiers (so far).
I realize these are all negative accomplishments, but that's the only thing Bush is good at: incompetency, stupidity, and false bravado. -RKO-

1) Libya renounced its WMD program and wants to play nice with the U.S.A.
2) Iraq and Afghanistan have gone from brutal, oppressive dictatorships to democracies.
3) Bush forced Syria to withdraw its troops from Lebanon
4) Home ownership is at a record high.
5) Inflation is extremely low.
6) Unemployment is at a shockingly low 4.6%
7) Schools are being forced to produce results with Bush's "No Child Left Behind Act"
8) We haven't had another terrorist attack since Sept. 11, 2001
9) Bush has made two outstanding additions to the Supreme Court
10) Bush is grooming Condaleeza Rice to be our next President, which will be a major victory for our reputation overseas. It's a lot harder to sling mud and epithets at a black woman than a white man. It's very PC incorrect.

Pie guy, the facts are overwhelming. The Dems don't even want to leave Iraq, even though they say they do. We put it to a vote because they kept shooting their mouth off, and they voted AGAIN for the war. Bunch of hypocrites.
There is no comeback to that. NOTHING! When lies are refuted by the liars OWN ACTIONS, then there is no retort. You cannot win an argument when you are proven to be a liar who shoots his mouth off and doesn't mean a goddamn thing you say. And we found WMD's in Iraq by the way. They were old, but still very lethal.

The most positive thing that Bush has done since he was ELECTED to office is keep Gore out of office.

I am embarrassed to say that I voted for Bush not once but twice. I am no longer a republican now I'm an independent. I can not think of anything good to say about him although I do not think Kerry would have done any better either,

All of Ben S's answers were about Iraq. Do you think the Iraqis see him in the same positive light?
Uh, my guess would be NO
