You're missing the point. Congress were the ones who appropriated the money in the first place so blaming Bush for spending money congress gave him to spend is like blaming the rooster for the dawn. Besides, taking out Saddam was still a good thing in my mind although i understand you Europeans liked doing business with him. Some people like to seize on 9-11 connections but the bottom line is the middle east would be far more unstable than it is with him still in power in Iraq.

2) Being liked by us is surely not part of his job, but it makes things easier. Maybe more nations had followed you to Iraq or were willing to offer help in Afghanistan...

Somehow i think that nations did whatever was in their own best interests, regardless of what Bush said or didn't say.

That's cool. Perhaps i phrased that wrong. Would you base your vote (for or against) for Merkel on a foreigners opinion, or is that decision something for you and your fellow countrymen to work out?

I just wonder what great deeds Mr. Bush has done to deserve your loyalty.:hmm:

He is the person the nation chose to be our president, that alone deserves our backing, at least until Feb of next year when we toss him out on his ear and vote in a new one. Before you start listing his faults, which we have heard many times over, especially on this board, ask yourself this: Have any more terrorists come into this country, hijacked airliners and flown them into our buildings since 9-11? Give credit where credit is due my friend...
