I don't see how this is even debatable; as egregious as his crimes have been, Bush should have been impeached long ago. He led us into a war when there was not ONE SHRED of evidence that Iraq had anything to do with 9-11 (because they didn't) or that Iraq was a terorist threat to us IN ANY WAY. Sure, Hussain was/is a despicable guy, but if we spent our time removing every tyrant from every far-flung country, we wouldn't have any resources left.....
Bush has never said 9/11 was caused by Saddam. Get your facts straight. Name one crime Bush has committed. Are you one of the baseless "Bush lied" folks? Have you ever read the Silberman-Robb report? No? It basically states that the Bush Administration was given faulty information by the intelligence community including those of other nations which agreed with our own CIA's assessment. Would you suggest he ignore what at the time appeared to be overwhelming evidence for WMD's? I'm sure you would because now you have the benefit of hindsight and could not possibly objectively put yourself in the position of having to make that enormous decision. It's easy for those who bare no burden to criticize those who do!
As far as Katrina, you're wrong! Local shelters are the mayor's responsibility. Blanco is the one who delayed the federal take over during those first few days. Additionally she sent in only about 4-5,000 Nat'l Guard to begin with. I don't fault her or Nagin though as this was a natural disaster and unlike what many people believe, we, the U.S. are not more powerful than nature. Bush has pushed and gotten billions upon billions of dollars(>100)to help this area recover. There has been more money allocated for us than any other disaster in history. If it's not fast enough for you why not focus on Blanco's LRA which is most definitely the hold up for some of the people I know.
