President Bush has been so demonized by the press, the Democrats and wimpy Republicans that anyone who defends him is made to look the fool. I appreciate a man that makes hard decisions and very, very slow changes him mind. A man that can stand against the onslaught on that has been brought against W would break most men, few could govern at all with such goofiness being puked all over the airwaves and internet.
Oh, btw we haven't been attacked in the homeland since 9/11, Bush hasn't done too badly on the most important of his task.

I was behind Bush and the Iraq war when it started. I was even behind it when it turned out the intelligence was faulty, because I believed it would have been very irresponsible for us to pull out and leave the Iraqis to fend for themselves. When our involvement in Iraq turned into being stuck in the middle of a civil war, I realized it was time for us to put an exit strategy together. The way things stand now I can see no end in sight. That is not what backed when I backed our President.
