Bush the war flop

[True_Blue]

Today marks four years that George W. Bush has been a complete flop as a “War President,” the worst Commander in Chief in US History.

On September 11, 2001, Bush’s incompetence -- at very least -- allowed Osama bin Laden’s attacks on America to happen. Imagine the howl from the bloviating right wing if those disasters had happened on Bill Clinton or Al Gore or John Kerry’s watch.

Since then, Bush’s four-year mismanagement of military operations has been every bit as incompetent, dishonorable and gratuitously destructive as his performance in New Orleans. One can only shudder at what comes next.

At a speech just before Katrina, Bush had the astonishing gall to compare his war leadership to that of Franklin Roosevelt. In fact, if Bush had been in office instead of Roosevelt in 1941, we’d all be speaking German and Japanese.

2. I can't disagree with that.

Just imagine, for a moment, if you were Bush's parents. Wouldn't you be embarrassed? Ashamed? Terrified at what was coming next?

How long this country can hold up under his rule?

Bush didn't have to run for president. He was set financially. The country certainly didn't need him. He had been a governor, so he had his crack at rulership.

And this is what's so sick: Bush was on a mission to outdo his dad, in some kind of Oedipal struggle. And the rest of the world gets sacrificed for them.
