you get the Bush presidency, two failed wars, economic collapse, and a major American city washes out to sea.
Well, lets compare the Bush Presidency to the Clinton Presidency on some key foreign policy and economic facts:
Clinton years: tried to go after Al Quada with some bombing efforts and police efforts, and did little damage to the network.
Bush years: invaded Afghanistan and successfully overthrew the Taliban government. Got Pakistan to reverse its support for the Taliban and capture hundreds of Al Quada members hiding in Pakistan. Captured and killed thousands of Al Quada members all over the world.
Clinton years: tried to enforce UN Security Council resolutions against Saddam's Iraq including heavily bombing the country. Efforts failed and UN inspectors were forced to leave and were not allowed back in. Efforts to enforce UN Security Council resolutions and completely disarm Saddam failed.
Bush years: Invaded Iraq and removed Saddam regime from power enforcing 17 UN Security Council resolutions against Iraq and insuring that Saddam's regime was disarmed.
Clinton years: left two hostile regimes in power in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Bush years: removed those regimes and replaced them with democratic governments.
Clinton years: Heavily cut defense spending to its lowest level as a percentage of GDP since 1939.
Bush years: increased defense spending, expanded the size of the military, and increased important research and development and procurement programs for modern weapon systems.
National Federal Debt as a percentage of GDP:
Clinton Years 64.5%
Bush Years 61.9%
Annual GDP growth rate:
Clinton Years 5.4%
Bush Years 4.8%
Annual Poverty Rate:
Clinton Years 13.3%
Bush Years 12.3%
Annual Inflation Rate:
Clinton Years 2.60%
Bush Years 2.69%
Annual Unemployment Rate:
Clinton Years 5.21%
Bush Years 5.20%
Two wars that have succeeded in removing grave threats to the United States and replaced threatening dictatorships with developing democracies. On economics, Bush years have roughly been the same as the Clinton years and better in some area's especially the poverty rate. No economic collapse at all based on the most important national macro-economic statistics. Instead, some of the best economic performance figures this country has ever seen rivaling the Clinton years.
But the greatest work of fiction above by Irvine is that a major American city has washed out to sea, and the Bush administration is at fault for it.
