1. That is a good question.
I'd say definately greater. Even if you imagined that Iraq would eventually lead to a more peaceful situation (and I don't), the fact is it's kind of a mess now, and a mess that is making things worse for us.

2. Overwhelming
This is a damning indictment on Bush and his policy. It shows that the people think that his execution of the war on terror is flawed and inf act failing.

I hope we remember that come November 2. I hope it's George W. Bush's second worst day on the job. I wonder if we could get Donald Trump to give him that 'You're Fired' move.

3. Now, if they would just add "and it is worse because bush is a freaking,
fracking idiot", the question would be complete.
