George I didn't finish Iraq the first time around - George II is.
Learn from your mistakes, right? Well, George II did learn from Clintons and George I's mistakes - the world is a better and safer place now than it was 5 years ago.

Okay I have to take issue with your statements... as in Clinton didn't take out Osama and his crew after the WTC bombing... well other than launching a couple of cruise missles at him... but the missiles didn't eliminate Osama or his "Crew"... as unfortunately G.W's actions in Afghanistan as well; while admirable for eliminating the extremism of the Taliban, they failed in the primary mission of capturing or eliminating Osama. Both Clinton and Bush tried to rid the world of Osama using different methods, and both failed.
Finally the claim that the world is a safer place than it was five years ago is so ludicrous it defy's belief.... there are more armed conflicts now that five years ago, there are more terrorist actions per annum than five years ago, more Americans are targeted for attacks or killed than five years ago, there has been a marked increase in racially or religously motivated attacks than five years ago, and finally (my own opinion here) I believe that Iraq has now become a focal point for anti-American, anti-"Western" terrorists - were recruits, funding, and equipment are now plentiful.
