George Bush may not be everyone’s favorite leader right now, but history will polish the wartime president’s image, writes Charles Krauthammer in the Washington Post. No one knew war was imminent when Bush entered office—but 9/11 changed that. Yet Bush has kept us safe and paved the way for his successor to do the same. Early reviews are predictably negative. Bob Woodward calls Bush "aloof and detached," but "a more favorably inclined biographer might have called it equanimity."

As for the Iraq war, “history has not yet rendered its verdict,” but it’s likely to grow more favorable if, as is likely, the move turned an enemy into an ally in the war on terror. As the history books are written, Bush may well follow in Harry Truman’s footsteps: Both expanded the president’s powers and fought unpopular wars. Truman left office “disparaged,” but “history has revised that verdict,” Krauthammer writes.

Why Bush Is a Great President

You should lay off the crack pipe for a bit Happy Fun Balls, you might see things differently if you're not totally whacked out of your mind.


"The real deal is this: the ‘royalty’ controlling the court, the ones with the power, the ones with the ability to make a difference, with the ability to change our course, the ones who will live in infamy if we pass the tipping points, are the captains of industry, CEOs in fossil fuel companies such as EXXON/Mobil, automobile manufacturers, utilities, all of the leaders who have placed short-term profit above the fate of the planet and the well-being of our children." - James Hansen

Sometimes stupidity is amusing, especially when the person doesn't know he's stupid.

why is this loser even here?

(why we left tos 1 and 2, etc). Its not interesting, clever, insightful or wanted. Kick him to the curb.

if a people will not prosecute officials who subvert and violate the constitution, then the constitution has no authority over officials.

If I posted an article from prison planet about how Bush and the Juze blew up the WTCs, would that be insightful?

Stupid people don't know that they're stupid.

And, BTW, I don't see longnose cur's posts because he's on the list with the other neocon gerbil retrievers.

The last great president we had was Ronald Reagan. I miss him.
Still I believe G.W. Bush will be remembered as decent, by historians with the benefit of hindsight. The Obama Administration is already driving some people to longing for Bush again.
