Israel, the 4th strongest military force in the world, lost the Lebanon war, against 3-5,000 Hezbollah fighters.
Putin, despite his many faults, probably has (temporarily) checked the Neocon agenda to expand the conflict into Syria and Iran. Putin has restored Russia's economy enough to allow him to 'defend' our targets with generous aid -cash and arms.
The scandals swirling around Bush are so numerous i've lost track of them- the Plame affair, Gannongate, Chalabi and 'curveball,' the WMD that never existed, Goss and his Lt. stepping down from the CIA because of a sex scandal in the Watergate Hotel, our ambassador's overseas involved in human trafficking, Abu Graib, the rigged elections, 'Coingate' in Ohio, the top civilian administrator's of the Pentagon on trial for what amounts to treason (Feith, Livingston, et al), Ken Lay and Enron, the the secret energy task force, Mr. Casino- Abramhoff and his lobbying-bribery efforts, .... and on and on and on. Add to the mix the jobless economic recovery, our porous border, and the bogus war......
At least during Clinton and Reagan i was able to keep track. The only reason Bush and company aren't in Jail - is because the media covers for them- few know anything about theses crimes.
The Neocon's main historical regret- they wish there had never been seperation of church and state( Kristol thinks 'tradition' makes people more compliant, and the clause in question fostered secularism). They also wanted to drop the H-bomb on Hanoi in 1968.
