Sure!TBH, some of the most effective operations were carried under his watch.
then the Taliban kicked out NATO 21 years later..Taliban setup was toppled in 2 months in Afghanistan in 2001 (Operation Enduring Freedom),
Only to bounce back decades later as a more matured and potent Global Islamist terrorist group.and Al-Qaeda setup was defeated in Tora Bora mountains in 2 months in Afghanistan in 2002 (Operation Anaconda).
Only for that insurgency to continue for at least 6+ more years and US was never able to completely squash.Saddam regime was toppled in 1 month in Iraq in 2003 (Operation Iraqi Freedom), and a powerful Iraqi insurgent group was defeated in Fallujah in 2 months in 2004 (Operation Phantom Fury).
US and its power was also alot stronger back then. Bush started 2 stupid warts that drained US for decades.Bush was a fearsome figure in his day.
Feels like a long time ago.His dad was competent in the art of war as well (Operation Desert Storm).
