    The Numbers Prove The Case Against Bush

    One can quibble with the details but the facts are all around us. The Bush presidency has been a disaster.

    People say "Give Bush credit. There have been no terrorist attacks in the US since 9/11." I guess 4000+ killed and 30,000 wounded by terrorists in Iraq's unecessary war don't count because they didn't occur here?

    Give me a break.

    More Americans have died from terrorist attacks during the Bush years than have died before Bush took office.
