How do you know he's prevented terrorist attacks? Because they haven't happened? Do you happen to have sources on the amount of attacks that have been prevented since 2001?

The funny thing about threads like this ("What good has he done?") is... the question never really gets answered. I mean, it does, kinda, but not in depth to the point that it makes a convincing response.

You can't say Bush has done a good job preventing terrorism if an attack doesn't happen. These attacks aren't exactly going on day-by-day. These things take time, years, to plan out. We're not really any safer today than we were 5 years ago except for the fact that us people are more aware of the reality of terrorism - hardly a "good job" by Bush. If something big like 9/11 happens, yes, we'll be more aware and to look out for things like this, but you can't say, "Bush has done a good job in preventing terrorism". How has he prevented terrorism? Arresting Al Qaeda members? Funny, because last I heard, Al Qaeda is larger today than it was in 2001.

Another thing is the economy. People here say the economy is good, people there say the economy is the worst it's been in 70 some years. Show links and sources - they would be very helpful.

Is there anything else? Ok, so let's just pretend we're safe from terrorist boogeymen and that the crappy economy is on a slight rise... what else? Is there anything else he has done?

Bush supporters, when they see this thread, should EASILY be able to rattle off a laundry list of good things he has done that's benefitted this country.

The war in Iraq is a mess. Yes, it's good Saddam is finally gone, but what's the plan? What good has come of it so far? Is it simply too early to tell, or what? Do tell.
