When he learns to feel remorse. I won't wait for that.

Bush's legacy is that of a robber baron. Who left in his wake hundreds of thousands dead and forever crippled. A debt the size of which has never been seen. An economy in shambles after mismanagement of regulatory practices and his war debt destroying the dollar. A nation who's national guard can't help it's citizens.
A nation who is as divided almost as much as it was during the civil war. A nation less safe than before.
No I'm afraid a book isn't going to change that one bit.
You can't polish this turd.

What I'd like to see is a frank discussion of why he hired all those folks from the PNAC and then lie about not wanting to be a nation builder? Why did he set up the office of special plans to act outside of normal intelligence checks and balances? Why did he ignore those who disagreed with him? because if they truth were known he'd be in front of a firing squad.

Because he never wanted to be a president, he wanted to be a dictator.

He's got to have some well-written (and no doubt ghost-written) memoirs right after he leaves office. It's part of his grand "They all hate me now but I'll be seen as a great president in fifty years!" plan.

Not so much that as he thinks the President is a dictator. And he's hardly alone- all the precedents he's building upon can be traced to the fact that most Presidents since Teddy Roosevelt have fought tooth and nail to transform the modest, republican "chief magistrate" of Washington into some kind of Holy American Emperor who's a perverse mixture of national priest, genie, and supreme warlord of the Earth.

Ya know, you make a good point without realizing it.

If it weren't for Bush's utter incompetence, disdain for the Constitution and the rule of law and hard-on for doing the opposite of what would be intelligent, Barack Obama wouldn't be the next president of the US.

So thanks, Bushie. You done got a negro in the White House.


Good point. Bush's complete and utter contempt for the Constitution and the rule of law has made people interested in the political process and willing to go out and vote. Particularly, college students who otherwise would have remained apathetic. Thanks to Bush, this year's election will be one of the most important and watched elections in US history.

The same secret service that cleared the way for the killing shot in '63?

/am sincerely worried that what you're implying will happen

I am too. I believe that if Obama attempts to keep his promises, he will be removed from the Grand Chessboard.

"We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries."
--David Rockefeller, founder of the Trilateral Commission, in an address to a meeting of The Trilateral Commission, in June, 1991.


"Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order [referring to the 1991 LA Riot]. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government."
--Dr. Henry Kissinger, Bilderberger Conference, Evians, France, 1991


"This present window of opportunity, during which a truly peaceful and interdependent world order might be built, will not be open for too long - We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order."
--David Rockefeller, Sept. 23, 1994


"In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after all."
--Strobe Talbot, President Clinton's Deputy Secretary of State, as quoted in Time, July 20th, l992.

"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the Field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it."
--Woodrow Wilson,The New Freedom (1913)


"The interests behind the Bush Administration, such as the CFR, The Trilateral Commission - founded by Zbigniew Brzezinski for David Rockefeller - and the Bilderberg group, have prepared for and are now moving to implement open world dictatorship within the next five years. They are not fighting against terrorists. They are fighting against citizens"
--Dr. Johannes B. Koeppl, Ph.D. Former German Defense Ministry Official and Advisor to former NATO Secretary General Manfred Werner. 6th November, 2001

You mean when he blew up some empty tents and an aspirin factory to distract people from his domestic political problems?

Actually, no, I was talking about the bombing of Serbia. Congress actually held a vote on authorizing it. They said no. Clinton launched the war any way.

Tell me that's not a gross violation of Congress's authority to determine matters of war and peace.

No, that was to get our minds off the Lewinsky scandal. I believe what's being referred to is when he bombed white people to protect muslims instead of bombing muslims to take their oil.

Well put. Except, isn't it more like those PNAC guys and like minded neo-cons (Cheney, wolfowitz, runnsfeld, etc) hired him to be the face of the office, not the other way around?

Being an idiot and being a con artist are usually not traits that go together very well, but as Bush is neither I guess it's all good.

It's almost as if our political system is designed to maintain equilibrium to some degree. Perhaps it could be likened to a pendulum...I don't know. If Bush hadn't been such an extremist, who knows what the GE landscape would look like.

no. He is an idiot. The man can barely speak and is openly ignorant about topics that he should have understood earlier (not knowing world leaders names during the 2000 election, not knowing that there is a history of anger between Sunnis and Shiites in the run up to invading Iraq). Anyone who thinks he is savvy enough to con anyone is mistaken.

Now those that work with him (cheney et al) . . .they are con artists, war profiteers, and in some cases (read: valarie plame) outright traitors.

Just to beat the point into the ground since you are missing it by such a wide berth:

Yes, Bush is stupid. One of the stupidest frat-boy, inappropriate-touching-of-world-leaders goofs to ever occupy the oval office. He is a front man for some very powerful and very smart people who have an agenda that they have used Chimpy to prop up. To that end, his advisors and cabinet members have been hand picked for their cunning insidiousness. It's Reagan all over again.

Not me. I have considered him a dolt from day one and still do. Cheney and his neocon pals have been calling the shots on national security and foreign affairs. Bush is just a city-slicker, blue-blood they dressed up like a cowboy to put on a happy face and fool the rubes.
