[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 442689, member: 9859"] George Bush had inherited a budget surplus, and entered the White House as a proponent of a more humble foreign policy and a believer that government should get out of the way at home. He leaves as someone with a trillion-dollar war aimed at making people who’ve hated each other for a thousand years become Rotary Club freedom-lovers, and his own country close to bankruptcy after government did get out of the way. Bush deliberately misled the country into war, and in that effort, the so called "Liberal news media" were complicit enablers. Historians will recall that in each of the major disasters on Bush’s watch, there were ample warnings — from the intelligence briefing that Osama bin Laden was determined to strike a month before the lethal blow, to the projections that Hurricane Katrina could drown a major American city, to the expressed fears that letting Wall Street regulate itself could be catastrophic. Voluntary regulation. That phrase now joins “heckuva job, Brownie” and “mission accomplished” among those that will always be associated with the Bush presidency. It’s painful now to realize, just as the economy craters and the world looks aghast at the United States, that the other cancer from the Bush presidency – his failure to even start the nation on the road to a new energy economy – gets short-changed during the lame duck of his final days. Bush has hinted that his legacy will be about the war. So be it. He never caught bin Laden, the mass murderer who launched a terrorist attack we can all agree deserved direct payback. He started strong, however lost focus in Bin laden and zero'd in on Hussain :why:. But he did topple a paper army in Iraq, opening the drainage for our currency, blood and global reputation. It may go down as the longest, even costliest war in our history. His legacy is a Mount Everest of shame and folly. But before going any further, let’s allow his supporters to have their say. Wkmac....The Rev Wright in you suggest the chickens have come home to roost again :wink2:... [/QUOTE]
