Hume: Bush has put America on an ‘amazing’ foreign policy path.»

Reflecting on his final days as Fox News’ Washington managing editor, Brit Hume tells the Miami Herald’s Glenn Garvin that when people look back at the Bush era, they “will be a lot kinder to this president than the current scribes are being.” “It’s really turned out to be a very consequential presidency,” said Hume, adding that Bush has put America on an “amazing” foreign policy path:

Even the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, which is widely regarded as terrible White House bungling, is a much more complex story than that which eventually will be told. And while people are understandably focused on the length and the casualty count of the war, at some point they’ll consider the policy path on which this president has placed us. It’s a very different one, and an amazing one. We’re pushing for democracy everywhere, not just playing ball with friendly dictators as we did in the Cold War.

One thing that Hume is right about is the fact that historians currently view Bush’s presidency as “a combination of many negative factors.” According to CNN, historians currently say that “incompetent” will most likely be the word used to describe Bush.

1. It's amazing alright

Sort of like watching a fiery Ferris wheel hurtle down broad street at night would be amazing

[gratuitous]

2. Yes, it is amazing

That through a lethal combination of fear, dread, and outright greed, Bush shoved through a doctrine of "pre-emptive" war to be brandished anytime he felt the American people weren't sufficiently scared of all the people, places and things that Bush thought they should be scared of. And the story surely is more complex, because other than self-serving excuses, the Bush administration has been sealed air-tight against any inquiry into its motives and actions.

We will learn much of this "amazing" path in the months and years to come. The verdict, I strongly suspect, will not be kind to Mr. Bush or his media cheerleaders.

3. Recycled old blather.

Junior and his supporters have always tried to defer accountability to some date in the infinite future.

4. More Deviant Mush from a republicon propagandist whimp

[Delphinus]

7. And who says that

everyone *WANTS* democracy? It's like everyone supposed to want to be a Christian. We're proselytizing democracy instead of just Christianity. It's wrong.

[Taverner]

8. That's more opiate-induced delusion

Meth just makes you paranoid and visibly insane

Opiates (e.g. OxyContin) make you think everything is just fine, no matter what. As one user once said "it makes you want to call the phone company just to say what a great job they're doing"

[Javaman]

9. yes, meth, crack and perhaps a bit of acid. nt

[acmavm]

10. Reality and Brit haven't had a working relationship in a long time.

Why would anyone be surprised about any delusional tripe that they guy penned?

[JuniperLea]

11. The crash of the Hindenburg was amazing too...

Who do these asshats think they are fooling?
