Bush would have been reelected by either taking out Saddam Hussein or by not breaking his promise to not raise taxes. Without Ross Perot he would have won anyhow. That was an easy election to win for him, but all 3 of these things prevented him from doing so. However, we're talking a 20 point election without any of these 3 factors.

How was he a hero?  Getting us involved in Iraq after his national security advisor told Tariq Aziz that the U.S had no interest in getting entangled in the Iraq Kuwait dispute?

I was referring more to his service in WWII, but yes the Persian Gulf War was handled well except for leaving Saddam in office to break UN sanctions.

you mean pick on a brutal dictator with mass graves, hangings, and legalized rape. That's ok that kind of thing is coming to this country starting with ACORN. Bush Sr. was smarter than his son on foreign policy and there wasn't as much of a case to take out Saddam in 1991 as there was in 2003. During Clinton's administration, Saddam got away with everything. Literally, he got away with murder.
