Anyone who voted for George Bush a second time bears some responsibility for this mess and it is a mess. It accomplished exactly nothing, nada, zilch, zero. If you think differently then you have your head up your ass.
That should get some of you motherfuckers fired up sufficiently enough to answer my questions, all of you that thought, or even still think, Dumbya walks on water.
W was a mediocre president at a time we needed a good leader. Sure, he did reasonably well in defending the country and in foreign affairs but he failed miserably in what needed to be done at home in education and the economy. The economy would have collapsed in 2001 from Clinton's and the republican Congress' mismanagement if it weren't for the patriotic fervor inspired by 9 11. As bad as Bush was he was the best president since Ford by a wide margin.
If it weren't for Bush Paris would be gone by now and Tel Aviv would be severely threatened. A few cities like Baghdad in the mideast might be smouldering radioactive ruins as well. I don't know what people thought when saddam announced he was going to nuke Israel thought he meant but best guess is he planned to do it.
Don't believe the nonsense about Weapons of Mass Destruction. It is simply impossible to know if he was collecting fissionable materialas or not since Clinton cut the spy budget. The one part of the military that should have been beefed up after the cold war while the rest suffered draconian cuts and instead he cut the wrong place leaving a bloated, blind, and obsolete behemouth sucking up tax payer money. I don't know how congress always gets it wrong. You'd think they stumble into right once in a while.
Obama will look like a fool and will be throwing away 5000 Americans and a half million Iraqis if he's calling this wrong. Let's hope he's right that Iraq can stand on its own feet.
