Well, the tax point is ridiculous...you wouldn't feel that way if you were wealthy. Flat percentage is the way to go, ask any economist.
Israel/Palestine is a conflict that's been going on forever, they both do things to each other, it's a two way street.
If Clinton hadn't been a fuck-tard, and listened to the intelligence before 9/11, Bin Laden would've been taken care of and our towers would still be standing. Everyone thinks he had a great administration because of the economy then, but his term reaped the rewards of things that Bush senior (and even Reagan) put into effect. We didn't see the long-term outcome of any of Clinton's decisions while he was still in office. Again, ask an economist.
The surge...wow. The commanding general suggested that, and it worked beautifully. You can't just drop the ball and walk out that fast. It won't work.
Depends on your definition of victory.
