The war in Iraq eventually lead to a strategy that worked and Bush always had clear principled goals and objectives. The Obama, Afghanistan strategy lacks clarity and is destine to fail, everyone knows it and no one has the courage to speak up.

Your "miles and miles better" comment does not seem to be based in reality. At some point the - I inherited... - line has to get old, don't you agree?

Just as an example: The TSA program was modified before Bush left office, what has changed since January? Perhaps, I am ignorant on what Obama has done, this is an educational opportunity for me.
