Agreed, he certainly has not been aggressive enough.

Ditto. Having supported the war, I can't really say I disapprove now

I have to agree with States, and Jake to a lesser extent.  Its ture that Rumsfeld is the lead guy on running the war and Bush just made the strategic choice to go in, but Rumsfeld has offerred his resignation to Bush and Bush wouldn't take it.  So Bush has to take the bulk of the blame.  As for Dave, like you I supoorted and still support the mission, but I do have to vote no confidence on the handling of the war.

I still support the mission and do have confidence in Blair's handling of it. I certainly don't think it's time for our lads to come home. Therefore, in this context, I didn't think it appropriate to single Bush out for criticism

Mixed - I approve and disapprove; overall, it's hard to pick one. I think they took a lot of things for granted, for one thing, that didn't pan out and still yet considering that it's been a year to a year and a half, a lot of progress has been made. They could have been more aggressive, yes, so there are things wrong and things right.

Bush should be blamed for Rumsfeld's mistakes--Bush is responsible for Rumsfeld being in charge of the operation!

I disapprove

We should have carpet bombed Zarqawi's mosques of refuge before we lost all sight of him.

I'm with both John Ford and Democratic Hawk on this one.

Yes, we certainly should have and any other "religious" structure holding terrorists.

I would dissapprove of anything short of reinstating Saddam with an abject apology and reparations.

John, what has been up with you lately?  We are closer to a resolution than we ever have been and you choose now to loose faith?  You need to take some time to think, man.  Isolate yourself from the media for a few days.  Is it really that you think he is doing a bad job, or do you just not like what you see on TV?  Remember, my friend, things are not nearly as bad as they would seem when you sit around and watch turntable coverage on CNN/Fox.  Sure, there are things that could be done better, but do you really, on the whole, disapprove of Bush?

I await your response.
