Great video and the author is very knowledgable about this subject.

I am so dissapointed in this vid, I clicked on this too learn something, and I have, but I hate the two host, they are such dipshits... they seem uninterested in asking the questions, and it's turning me off...... Fox News Dumbass'.... The person being interviewed is great.......

The anchor is just laughing his ass off...it's not that funny, geez.

1 more year of Bush. YAY!

George "Scumbag" Bush doesn't deserve to be associated with our first president.

Grow up, ctb619. Geez.

he may have screwed up quite a bit, but he's still the commander in chief and that denotes a certain amount of respect. Besides Washington wasn't god by any means. He believed that the president was above the common man, a higher entity so he refused to shake hands with anyone, believing it to be something that someone would do with their

Bush definitely screwed up in how he handled Iraq, but until you could say you would have done better with the info he had then and carry it out, don't attack the commanded in chief.

very informative and quite interesting.
