after four years in office, to say the bush presidency has been a colossal failure is an understatement.
his incompetence is so amazing, the errors he has made are so terrible that conspiracy theories abound explaining how his failures are actually brilliant maneuvers in disguise. weapons of mass destruction in iraq? i could have told you there weren't any before we invaded. but bush, who had access to far more information than myself, was completely convinced that sadam hussein had an advanced nuclear program. even when presented with cold hard evidence that sadam hussein's iraq had been crippled to the point of impotence, mr bush continued to believe that iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction.
we presently aren't able to export much oil from iraq due to the growing insurgency. anyone with even a casual familiarity with the middle east could have told you that u.s. occupation of an islamic country would lead to an enormous and bloody insurrection. but the bush administration was genuinely surprised that there was any resistance to our military.
in fact, before the war bush believed that we would not incur any serious casualties in the entire iraq debacle.
when mr bush was confronted with the fact that there was a growing insurgency during the summer of last year his response was not to commit more troops and money to iraq, it was to tell militant islamists to "bring it on", daring them to murder more u.s. military personnel. most of the money that has been dedicated to rebuilding iraq has stagnated in the united states. george w bush's iraq policy can be seen by anyone with an internet connection. all you have to do is download a video of the latest beheading of an american civilian in iraq on any of the myriad of web sites run by militant islamic terrorist organizations that have sprung up under his administration.
george w bush's incompetence is so incredible it defies logic. he has managed to make mistakes and failed in ways that prior to his election I would have told you were not possible for a u.s. president. mr bush dragging us into war over nonexistent weapons of mass destruction in iraq is possibly the biggest u.s. intelligence failure in the past 50 years. his inability to convince the u.n. or even the majority of our close allies to follow us into war defies belief. the waste of the surplus on tax returns for wealthy corporations in a failed attempt to jump start the economy almost four years ago was unbelievable. in fact, the entire economy has completely reversed under mr bush, where he inherited a surplus there is now a deficit. this is just another fine example how mr. bush takes gold and turns it into dirt. his only excuse is to blame the results of all his mistakes on his predecessor, bill clinton.
bush isn't even good at covering up his incompetence. every time he opens his mouth he says things that would be unintentionaly funny if he wasn't the leader of the free world.
in my opinion, bush’s biggest failure was allowing osama bin laden to escape. refocusing our nation’s search for osama bin laden to an unnecessary war in iraq has been mr. bush’s biggest mistake. many people will say that osama bin laden is dead. but if that is the case, then why has the pakistani government been under tremendous pressure these past few months to capture bin laden? why has the capture of bin laden only become a priority since the beginning of election season? it seems mr bush only sees bin laden as a nuisance to his re-election campaign. perhaps mr. bush should have focused on capturing bin laden these past three years instead of adventuring in iraq.
if george w bush is re-elected i fully expect america to be blown to kingdom come by militant islamists.
george w bush is tells us that "the terrorists are listening" whenever his many foreign policy failures come up in the media. yes, mr. bush, the terrorists are listening, and here is what they are hearing from you:
"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02
"I am truly not that concerned about him."
- G.W. Bush, repsonding to a question about bin Laden's whereabouts, 3/13/02
it is not that difficult to envision members of islamic jihad with bombs strapped to themselves giving each other hi-fives after seeing this on al-jazeera.
karl rove and dick cheney cannot protect you from al quaeda.
donald rumsfeld's leadership can be summed up in two words, abu ghraib.
this past week we found another frightening failure. it seems that 380 tons of explosives have gone missing from an ammo dump in iraq. the white house assures us that they are investigating. i don't know about you, but i don't feel any better know that george w bush world keystone cop is on the case. i have a suggestion for one place for him to begin his search for the explosives, though. he should look for the residue of some of those explosives in the ieds and carbombs that have splattered the remains of our soldiers and iraqi civilians all over downtown baghdad.
and this doesn't even scratch the surface, the true legacy of the bush administration will be the increase of nuclear proliferation among third world governments with psychotic leaders. the unstable and untrustworthy states of iran and north korea have advanced their nuclear programs to a frightening extent under the negligent watch of george w bush. in the past four years the possibility of a nuclear strike on american soil has grown more likely than in the previous decade.
i would like to hear from anyone, anyone at all, who seriously believes that the terrorist threat and the situation in iraq can be corrected by these losers:
if you have any patriotic sentiment at all or love america and freedom then i suggest that you vote for john kerry on november 2nd.
