On The Record

Okay, so I watched the Dick Cheney interview on the Today show this morning, and he kept telling us to check the record. Kerry as a legislator? Check the record. Kerry on terror? Check the record. Kerry as president of the US? Check the record. And while I will concede that Kerry does, in fact, lack experience at being the leader of the free world, Cheney's suggestions inspire me to actually go and check the record.

So here, for your viewing pleasure, is George W. Bush: The Record.

Coalition troops killed in Iraq: 1,243, and counting

Of those, number of US troops: 1,104, and counting

Civilians killed in Iraq: approx. 14,000, and counting

Iraqi presidents involved in the 9/11 attacks: 0

"Most Wanted" al Qaeda leaders killed and/or captured: 3

Osama bin Ladens killed and/or captured: 0

Quite a record.
