Why Bush will go down as the Worst President Ever

My first posting seems to have disappeared....

]"The reasons why we went to war in Iraq don't matter any more, we are there and that mission is accomplished."

That's a quote from a fellow blogger, buried under 99 other responses. Of course, I think he's wrong. The reasons we went to war in Iraq are central to our mission, and those reasons are changed and manipulated at the whim of this administration.

Measures of success, in a similar fashion, are "evolved".

Today, Bush cites the lower death tolls and levels of violence as his barometer of success. Never mind these numbers, when they were bad, were classified by this administration and kept from the American people. Never mind that photos of our soldiers, those who were killed in the ultimate sacrafice for our country, were hidden from view (and the photographers vilified.) Never mind that we seem to prop up the least likely leaders in a country whose termoil reaches back to about 400 ad, if not beyond. Never mind Bush seeks the advice of the Saudis (since before Bush was even elected)to shape his form policy. (wording is deliberate).

The reasons we went to war in Iraq are key. Those reasons set the framework of what our goals -- and measures of success -- should be. By losing view of those reasons, we muddle around in waters that should be crystal clear. Perhaps it is this lack of vision which leads to scandals like Abu Grab. Perhaps it is because we are blinded by confusion we can't see the forest for the trees. When our truest beliefs -- that freedom and justice and a certain moral action -- are shoved aside in the name of security is counter-American.

That's why I believe this administration, no matter what the outcome of the Iraq war, will be viewed as one of the worse in our more than 200 year history. I believe this Administration is unamerican.

Response? None will be deleted. That, also, is UnAmerican.

The intel was good for them and their campaign, the selfish little pricks. A clever response! But I think now that the facts are on the table even they would say the intel was piss poor. Still, a clever response.

Gives me an idea for my next posting....

the selfish little pricks.

Hope you had a good thanksgiving.

But I can see you dont like any of them. I can see we are going to agree more often than not.

It was great, thanks. I'm really worried about this election. Usually, I think "here's a great candidate". Then something happens, (EEEEEEOOOOOOOOWWWWWW) and the media drums my guy out. (not that I was a big fan of EEEEOOOOOOOWWWWW, but it's a great example of how the media kills a candidate)

But at least I had a chance to think, here's a guy I can support. This go 'round, I am disillusioned. This go round, I'm wishing for better days. How bad is that when Al Sharpton looks GOOD????

All Candidates? Or just the front runners? ON the Democrat Side, you have Biden (who I think would be a very weak president - but hardly bad like Hillary) and Richardson (I think would be a good one there).

On the Republican side, you have Thompson (My favorite), and Ron Paul. Night and Day in many respects.

I agree with you only to the point that it looks like the apparent nominees are going to be hold your nose types. But with 17 (or has that changed) candidates now, there is something for everyone.

I really am only paying attention to the front runners, partly because of work. I always vote for a long shot in the primary, it seems when it comes to my personal politics. But, I see danger ahead for the democrats if any of the front runners are triumphant. On the Republican side, I see danger, too. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out -- and perhaps I'll need a refill on my vitamin V.

Thompson (My favorite

Gee what is it with Republicans want delusional doddering has been actors as president?

My favorite line was him begging for his supporters to clap for him in Iowa.
