The Iraq war will determine Bush's legacy. If he is successful in stabilizing this hell hole, he will probably be recognized as a great president, resolute and committed to his goals, despite the political winds.
If America defaults on her commitments and the democrats succeed in their policy of defeat and Iraq is left to fend for itself - not so great.
For what it's worth, I strongly suspect that Harry Reed's public announcement that America has lost the war (while our troops are on the front lines and in harm's way) will go down in history as one of the dumbest and most dangerous statements ever uttered by a politician.

Why would Bush's reputaion improve as time goes on? Bush had a 90+ percent approval rating shortly after 9/11 and that approval has sunk to below 30 percent in just a few years. This trend would hint at a continuing downward slope. It seems that the more that the operations of the Bush Administration come to light, the less popular Bush becomes. I think people will become increasingly tired of the Iraq war (a war that Bush has no intention of ending) and his popularity will sink even further.

GWB will be remembered as a great leader by those who put him in power. Look what he has achieved. He has managed to single-handedly reinvigorate the military industrial complex which was suffering from peace and a lack of capital investment. He has very effectively redistributed the wealth of several countries, including his own, from the public to companies, and taken all that wasted money away from the environment, farmers, the middle class and the poor and given it to the Texan carpet baggers. What a great leader: who else could have achieved so much and be loved by so few.

I'm going to expose my true feelings and say that yes he will be recognized as a good president.
Other presidents have had horrible approval ratings, Lincoln, Wilson, FDR, but they're still recognized as great presidents.
So, I hope so :)
