    Default The Bush Legacy, As Seen From London

    The Bush Legacy, As Seen From London

    By Ken Silverstein

    From The Independent:

    "So perhaps Mr. Bush’s most significant legacy, as far as Britain is concerned, will be the destruction of the instinctive trust of America and its leaders that once prevailed here. It is no exaggeration to say that Mr Bush has done more damage to relations between our two nations than any president in living memory…

    And whatever the future holds for transatlantic relations, there will be very few in this country who watched President Bush’s plane depart yesterday without a feeling of profound relief that the end of this disastrous presidency is finally in sight."

    The Bush Legacy as seen from Iraq:



    (shrug).
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    They ought to worry about their legacy they are leaving for their children, and we'll worry about ours..

    "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."
    Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC)

    You do realize you are all becoming equivalent to the dodo bird, pretty much extinct. Heard yesterday 84% oppose the way Bush is managing the country. But you will all have the odd distinction of having voted for and supported the worst president in our history, odd bragging right, but for the empty headed it is something.

    "Historians are loath to predict the future. It is impossible to say with certainty how Bush will be ranked in, say, 2050. But somehow, in his first six years in office he has managed to combine the lapses of leadership, misguided policies and abuse of power of his failed predecessors. I think there is no alternative but to rank him as the worst president in U.S. history."

    Oh what a rosey view we are presented with

    This is more realistic:


    This is by far one of the more tame images that can be gleamed from the simple Google search "Iraq photos." Sorry if reality is a little harder to swallow.

    It's the faces of the soldiers Bush sent to their deaths so that we can effectively police Iraq while the Iraqi "government" treads water indefinately.
    If you want, I can post pictures of all the grotesquely maimed bodies this war has left in its wake. That might upset some of the conservatives on this site though, ya'll do enjoy pretending that it's all been a bed of roses over there since Prince Dubya marched-in and "liberated" the place. Confronting ya'll with reality always seems to get me negatively repped for some reason.

    Oh, so the fact that I haven't had a military job means I'm not entitled to an opinion? That's horsesh*t man. Plain and simple. I can look at a picture of a child with his leg blown off and tell you that this war is bullsh*t without ever having worked in the military. It's not rocket science--or did your grunt work in the military require a rocket science degree? No, no it didn't. If you can read, then you're qualified enough to know that this military misadventure has overstepped the bounds of sanity, legality, humanity and intelligence.
    The horrors of past wars should be lesson enough for us to not march into this stuff willy-nilly. You'd think. If you really want me to post son-sequitur photos from past wars on this thread (about the Bush Legacy) then let me know and I will. In the meantime, I'll stick to the subject of the thread if you don't mind.
