Reaction to the First Draft of Bush's History

Damage to last past 2009

It'll be decades before the damage caused by Bush fades away. From stuffing the federal legal system with under qualified (overly religious) graduates (http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/209660/150_graduates_of_pat_robertsons_college.html). To gutting the EPA, FDA, Department of Labor (e.g. Mining Safety), Education (No child left a dime), Miltary, etc.

Try as I might, there are no words to accurately and adequately describe the catastrophic, monumental failure of the Bush administration. I cannot imagine this country ever serving up a candidate, let alone a leader, so ill-equipped, so unintelligent, so morally bankrupt as the current president. On January 20, 2009, all of us, wherever we are, should quote the late Gerald Ford, when he said after taking the oath of office after Nixon's resignation, "Our long, national nightmare is over".

Taking out Saddam

If one were to concede that taking out Saddam was a positive step ... it would be akin to washing the dishes while your house burns down. To be practical he wasn't a threat. If you consider what he did to the Kurds in the 80s it pales to the current atrocities being committed in Darfur. Anyway go back and listen to Douglas Feith (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Feith), he would have been happy to attack anybody in that region: North Korea, Syria, or Iran (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/04/03/60minutes/main3992653.shtml). As far as the military goes, I would think we should have focused the majority of our effort in Afghanistan.

Beyond the war and the military. The real threat, in my opinion, is Wahabism that is being promoted by Saudia Arabia. Saudi Arabia ... the nationality of the 9/11 hijackers. I would think the best way to fight them would be to stop importing their oil. I believe we import 13% of our oil from Saudi Arabia (a total of 21% from all the middle east). If we were to TAX hummers and give incentives for hybrids we'd of done more damage and gotten a better return on our investment.

Of course that would cut oil profits across the board ...

First Draft re Bush

Do the Gutierrezs live in the same house? Anyway, I still remember the neocon lawyers storming the vote-counting premises in Florida in 2000 before they stole the election and left us in the mess we are now in. Bush will retire to Texas while the country will need to clear away the leavings of his disastrous administration. Too bad the Democrats have not had the cajones to take him on even now. There is no doubt in my mind that he will be judged as one of the worst presidents ever.

People also thought Clinton was a God but look at the reality

I don't take what most liberal historians have to say as truth since most of them have held people such as Castro, Che Guevera, Stalin,Pol Pot and other mass murderers as "men of the people" this was a very necessary war as one of the most heinous dictators was removed and his mudering raping son's killed. It takes people with courage and conviction to stand up to the bullies, as we clearly seen during Clinton's presidency a coward only entices bullies to act more aggressive. People say a lot of things but do they understand what's really going on? No they don't or else we wouldn't have so many people crying about three thousand dead soldiers as the end of the world. When the soldiers themselves say this was a necessary war and that they are proud of what they've done and have accomplished who cares what a bunch of cowardly historians has to say. In the end we are still the greatest nation on earth and we should start learning how to push back regardless of what the few liberal cowards has to say

Bush presidential record

George Bush's domestic and foreign policy actions have been so abysmal,that they are unworthy of comment

Bush, Worst President in History

Bush at first thought he was lucky to have Cheney as VP, only because he thought he did not have higher aspirations. Now he has to be very sorry of lending so much power to someone with no incentives to test his own views in the game of politics. Cheney figured if he was wrong Bush would take the blame as President, which he has. America blames Bush for eight years of a wasted presidency. It is highly unlikely that Cheney and his neocons will offer apologies for what they have wrought. Like Bush, they are looking to the long span of years that history will vindicate them. It will indeed be eons before anyone trusts them again.
