Even if he had this one good thing without strings, he is still destined to go down in the history books as one of our worse Presidents ever, both in terms of integrity and competency.

Wonder what bambi (and his worshippers) will do when someone throws something at him from 15 feet?

If Bush (or any Republican) was in office in 1994 and not intervene and help like Clinton failed to do in Rwanda, Bush would have been villified forever by everyone, because everyone is manipulated and controlled by the liberal media and establishment. Instead, those establishments covered up for Clinton’s failure and disgrace in this horrible tragedy. And they’re still covering up for him. Don’t worry, though, because Africa remembers what he didn’t do for them.

Of course, because Bush is a good and kind-hearted man, he would never have allowed that genocide in Rwanda to happen. He would’ve intervened. He is a true compassionate conservative. Again, as usual, when he does something good, the MSM and people like you, BC, spin it and paint a different picture of him — i.e., that he’s a warmonger, etc.

As for Bush’s legacy in Africa, well, suffice it to say, his accomplishments in Africa have no comparison to any other U.S. president’s to date. President Bush has spent BILLIONS in Africa, trying to rid the continent of malaria, HIV and other diseases. We have also been in Africa now for the last few years establishing and implementing Bush’s new military Command called AFRICOM. Under AFRICOM, we are rebuilding and strengthening the African armies to defend themselves and reconstructing the infrastructure to help the African people. That infrastructure that we are helping to build or rebuild include education systems, medical systems, economic and trade systems, etc., etc., etc. George W. Bush is loved in Africa, and the media is not talking about it. It’s obvious why.

You can find some of Bush’s accomplishments in Africa in the following weblink, although, as usual because he and his administration are humble, not all of his achievements are listed: http://www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/africa/accomplishments.html

I don’t think Bush’s response to the incident indicates anything negative about Bush. He responded as an American President in the spotlight should respond to a political demonstration – by not making a big deal out of it.

That the Arabs interpret his response as weakness says more about Arab culture than it does about Bush’s intelligence. He was right not to lower himself to their primitive level, regardless of the PR effect. You don’t treat a mental patient by validating his delusions, and you don’t help the Arabs into the 21sth century by validating their foul beliefs about honor.

China, Cuba and Russia are working to establish more communist/socialist governments so that they can be more powerful. It has little to do with “America’s declining power.” It’s more akin to the Arab league meeting before the 1973 Yom Kippur War – they wouldn’t invite Israel to that meeting. Why would these countries invite their own enemy to their shindig?

Of course, I’m sure in your great intellect, you are going to insult me, call me a “neocon Zionist redneck”, and pat yourself on the back for being sooooo much smarter than me so have at it.
