Period. End of story.

Yeah. And absent the Iraq War the streets of America would be crawling with Islamic terrorists and suicide bombers in running battles with the police and National Guard. We wouldn'tr have any way to stop it at all.
You rest your entire analysis of this "success", apparently, on a completely unproven and unprovable hypothetical. Nice work if you can get it.

Ok -- Any adverse consequences to this failure? Any way in which this wonderful political and policy triumph has worsened America's position in the world? If so, to save time, please explain up front how this can all be blamed on our party.

Next you'll explain how Lay and Skilling and Fastow weren't really all that culpable in the Enron scandal -- it was the damn VPs and middle management.
Simply not credible.
