They will not judge it by consulting the oracles within the MSM, who lampoon Bush as a moron and possibly the worst president ever. They will not judge it by consulting Osama bin Laden or Ken Livingstone or Martyn Bradbury. (Who ?)
The number of American troops killed during the eight years of the War against Terror has been fewer than those slain capturing two islands in the Second World War, and in Britain we have lost fewer soldiers than on a normal weekend on the Western Front. As for civilians, there have been fewer Iraqis killed since the invasion than in 20 conflicts since the Second World War.
Iraq has been a victory for the US-led coalition, a fact that the Bush-haters will have to deal with when perspective finally – perhaps years from now – lends objectivity to this fine man's record...more from Andrew Roberts (author of 'Masters and Commanders: How Roosevelt, Churchill, Marshall and Alanbrooke Won the War in the West' Penguin ) here...and from Samizdata, here...

Bravo! Quite right, and to be matched by his administration's work in Africa: easily the most effective of any US government's. Long way to go, but George Jr should get more credit for it.
