The U.S. fought five shooting wars during the 20th Century - World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and Desert Storm. The political precedents suggest iffy electoral prospects for George Bush.

In 1990 and 1991 the first George Bush led the international effort to block Saddam Hussein in the Gulf and then to expel him from Kuwait. Parades greeted the troops as they returned from battlefield victories. Bush decisively lost his 1992 re-election bid.

George W. Bush describes himself as a "War President." The record indicates that the designation brings mixed blessings - at best.
