Yes... and no.
Jim Devine Quotes Juan Cole:
[with apologies to Doyle.]
Is Bush Unhinged?
.
.
Give me an example of any positive and successful
accomplishment of his presidency, unmarred by substantial failures.
Afghanistan? Israel-Palestine? Lebanon? Iraq? Al-Qaeda? Domestically,
he has, by cutting taxes on billionaires, run up the national debt by
trillions, and boasts in that insane yet just mediocre way of his that
the deficit is "coming down." He put the expense of the Afghanistan
and Iraq Wars off-budget, and somehow the business page journalists
haven't managed to notice that the deficit is not actually less than
$300 billion if you count the wars. Nor is adding even $290 billion a
year to the national debt a positive accomplishment. We pay interest
on that debt, folks.
