So sad that you are in an obvious fog.
Clinton wouldn't have had it as an issue, had George Bush Sr. followed through.
Now, you want to blame Clinton for beating Hebert Walker, as an excuse!!!!
The Bushes are two of a kind...."read my lips"...."mission accomplished". LIARS.

Maybe so, but we'd have all been walking the streets singing, "Freedom's Just Another Word for Nothing Left to Lose.."

I like the fact George the senior raised taxes. It shows he was convinced it needed to be done for the good of the country. (Whether it did or not is another debate). He was a team player and an Economist. If he hadn't gone back on that promise I fear we would have been in for a worse crises. Just MO

So because Bush ALLOWED Saddam to surrender(at the request of the bleeding heart liberals)Bill had no responsibility to uphold the terms of the surrender?
Funny how you foolish liberals love to use those two quotes. If you had the slightest bit of depth to your thought process you would realize that you are attempting to condemn Bush senior for DOING exactly what the liberals FORCED him to do(raise taxes) and silly one you must LEARN the definition of the word MISSION and stop disrespecting the LONGEST and most successful deployment of any naval ship from any country EVER in the entire history of the world. The men and women of that aircraft carrier had served a full tour of duty and were headed back to the US when 9/11 happened. They were turned around and fought the ENTIRE Afghan war and then 14 months later the ENTIRE Iraq war and finally were on their way home when the president went out to personally "THANK" them. And oh yes we did WIN the Iraq war as well as the Afghan war. The rest has been a battle against terrorists and terrorism that they declared ON US when Jimmy Carter was president.

Methinks you must be used to arguing with stupid people.

I don't agree with all of your points, but just wanted to point out you are right on with the statement I placed in bold type.
Now tell me why Bush's writers can't explain it as clearly?

They have many times but the media chooses to emphasize different things. You can talk all you want but if no one is allowed to actually hear what you say instead of what someone says that you said your "message" won't get out. Check any of the speeches leading up to the war and you will find that much more was said than "nuclear weapons" the humanitarian reasons were heavily emphasized. Remember the "food for oil" "embargo" that was such a failure because of the UN?

Bush just doesn't have the persona that Clinton did. The last great (maybe the only in modern times) communicator the GOP had was Regan.
