"bringing us closer to the end of Bush's war in Iraq"

By following Bush's plan and now He takes credit for it. How is his ending of the Afghan war doing? Not a peep out of Amos so He must be another warmonger.

Where is the shrill, whiny, crybaby liberals' criticism of Obama's handling of the Swine Flu vaccine?

ABC News, "Avian Flu: Is the Government Ready for an Epidemic?" by Brian Ross, September 15, 2006: "According to Dr. Irwin Redlener, director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, Bush's call to remain on the offensive has come too late. 'If we had a significant worldwide epidemic of this particular avian flu, and it hit the United States and the world, because it would be everywhere at once, I think we would see outcomes that would be virtually impossible to imagine,"he warns."

New York Times, "Fear of avian flu Outbreak Rattles Washington," by Gardiner Harris, October 5, 2005: "Thirty-two Democratic senators sent a letter to President Bush on Tuesday expressing "grave concern that the nation is dangerously unprepared for the serious threat of avian influenza."

We can realistically hope that our current federal government will improve upon the bungled effort made by the Bush Administration to prepare for the onslaught of avian flu—which fortunately didn't materialize. But certain aspects of the crisis are likely to be repeated, and profiteers will waste no time in gathering at the trough.
