As you read these words George W. Bush is poised to humiliate Senate Republicans yet again — and Senate Republicans, with only a few exceptions, are poised to accept this new humiliation and say, yet again: Yes, boss.
From the minute George Bush planned to let Osama bin Laden escape from Tora Bora by diverting our military to his obsessive hunger for the Iraq war, the conduct of Republicans in the Senate has been one of the most morally shameful abdications of conscience and duty in the history of the American Congress.
On Iraq, George Bush is trapped in his own private Guantanamo, a detainee of his personal and uncontrollable obsession about this war, no matter what the truth, no matter what the cost, no matter what the consequences.
At every single step of the way towards this catastrophe, the Senate Republicans marched in lockstep, at first blinded by their power in controlling the Senate, and then blinded by their fear of standing up to the man most of them know is deadly wrong, about this deadly war.
On Iraq, George Bush’s vision is that America should be held hostage to whatever darkness governs his spirit on this war that should never have been fought.
Democrats never mattered in the war world of George W. Bush. He is the only American president in our history who used war itself as a partisan political weapon rather than an effort behind which our country could rally.
In George Bush’s world of war, he was never the president of the United States, he was the decider, the commander guy, the child who said bring ‘em on.
George Bush was the little man in search of total power, treating war not as a higher purpose to win with unity, but as a lower political art form to demean Americans he treats as enemies.
No American President, not even Nixon at his worst, has ever demeaned, defamed and dishonored the office once held by George Washington in this manner.
