this guy is hilarious:
Iraq is not lost. The surge is working. The Anbar province, once one of the worst places in Iraq, is now one of the safest. Iraq can still be won. We're not where we need to be, but we're definitely farther along than we were in May, 2003 when "Mission Accomplished" was declared and not just in the calendar, either. Anbar is just one of a number of examples. Fallujah is not as bad as it was. Baghdad is even slowly starting to calm down. McCain is right, the surge is working. Petraeus is going to bring back a positive report, saying that we're doing good, we just need to keep it up. Heck, even Bush is talking about possibly drawing down the troops within the next year pending the September surge report.
I know I'm talking from the vast minority, but thats fine with me. I like Bush. He is NOT a bad president. I actually think history will judge him to be one of our better presidents. Definitely not the best, but not anywhere near the bottom. Yes, my view of him has gotten drastically better in the past year where I thought he was one of the worst. I still think Reagan was a better president in recent times, but Bush Jr was definitely better than his father or Nixon or Ford.
