The GWB administration will be identified/defined in history by

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

Up until this week I would have said the invasion and occupation of Iraq for sure. Now I think it will clearly be this, possibly tied by Iraq.

6. New Orleans is the new Boston

One thing. That ain't tea in those go-cups... :beer:

[damntexdem]

7. Other: impeachment or resignation ...

due to Katrina and Iraq.

Plus the scandal over Condie channeling Ms. Marcos.

[baldguy]

8. Failure.

In every way & at every level. The worst President ever.

[Tin Man]

13. agreed - Domestic & foreign policy failures

If Katrina has a silver lining, perhaps the nation will come to recognize the destructive incompetence of "neo-Con" republicans - 5 years of "leadership" and all we got is a deepening hole.

17. Other. Unleashing capitalism at its Tyrannosauric worst:

Imposing Islamic theocracy via the Iraq War; outsourcing, downsizing, take-backs, wage-reduction, pension-looting, skyrocketing prices; destruction of the social safety net; perversion of 9/11 into a Reichstag Fire to give government (and thus the capitalism) the means of suppressing the inevitable dissent. This is the precise purpose for which the oligarchy groomed and elected Bush, and this is the purpose he is now fulfilling: especially in New Orleans.

[brazil]

18. Decline and Fall of the American Empire.

[Marr]

19. Are you kidding? NOBODY will remember the Katrina non-response.

That is, unless we have some sort of socialist revolution in the next few years.

Ever heard of the Lattimer Massacre? The Everett Masscre? The Pullman Strike? You would've- if the victims had been 'respectable property owners' instead of peons.

In 50 years, the only mention of this catastrophic dereliction of duty on the part of the Bush Administration will be found in little-read collections of "alternative history" books.
