Nobody knew what weapons he had and not knowing is every bit as dangerous as knowing he has a whole stock pile of them.

Well hey, don't get me wrong: it would have been awesome to say Bush was right and have him found the WMD's. I would love the guy! But the fact is, he DIDN'T! Bombings took place that killed thousands of civilians. But that's okay, because he is going to find the WMD's. It's better to lose a few civillians here and there in order to justify a war, right? Back on the subject of compiling a list, here is what Mr. Bush has done for America since he has been in office:
1. Cut $39 million from federal spending on libraries.
2. Cut $35 million in funding for advanced pediatric training for doctors.
3. Cut funding for research into cleaner, more efficient cars and trucks by 28 percent.
4. Broken his campaign promise to invest $100 million per year in rain forest conservation.
5. Pulled out the 1997 Kyoto Protocol agreement on global warming, ultimately signed by 178 other countries.
6. Denied college financial aid to students convicted of misdemeanor drug charges.
7. Proposed elimination of the "reading is fundamental" program, which gives free books to poor children.
The list goes on and on....
