George Bush was Correct about the Middle East

[louis c]

President Bush told us that he would establish a new, democratic government in Iraq, that would shine as an example for the rest of the countries in the Middle East.

He was correct. The Bush Administration established a sectarian, chaotic, ineffectual government that has led to civil war in Iraq and.... the rest of the Middle East is following suit.

Nice going, President Nit-Wit.

""And to think that we are going to ‘stay the course,’ the course is headed over Niagara Falls. I think it's time to change course a little bit, or at least hold somebody responsible for putting you on this course. Because it's been a failure.” ""

6. It was stupid hubris. Unfortunately, we'll now have to deal

with a predominately Shiite government which more than likely, will not be in our interest.
