Bush's Only Gift to America

"What recent history has shown is that failure to address serious government misconduct only invites a repeat of those abuses or worse. It can be unpleasant to exact accountability – it is often easier to look the other way – but it has been a hard-learned lesson for America that leniency in such circumstances can have devastating consequences."

Editorial: Bush, Maliki and That Memo - 1 day ago

 
..........The president’s performance this week — his refusal to impose any deadlines on Mr. Maliki to start reconciliation talks and break with the militias, and his refusal to give the Pentagon a deadline to stand up an effective Iraqi Army — tells us once again that Mr. Bush does not listen.
..........Mr. Bush’s lack of curiosity was well known even before he became president, but as time has gone on and bad news has mounted, that disinterested quality has turned into a stubborn refusal to hear bad news. The country simply cannot afford it any longer. Three years of having Mr. Bush trust only his gut has plunged Iraq into bloody chaos and done untold damage to America. There needs to be an urgent change in policy.
.........The president’s advisers need to tell him all the harsh truths about Iraq in the vivid terms they require; they need to tell him how little time he has left to act. This administration has been orchestrating a foreign policy disaster of epic proportions, and history will remember both that the president failed to hear the warning bells and that many others failed to ring them loudly enough.

 

"The Bush administration's tunnel-vision approach to foreign policy has pushed the
     U.S. and the world into a devastating tailspin of conflict without end. "
   Rosa Brooks: Bush's Burned Bridges

Rosa Brooks has provided a VERY concise summary of how the Bush administration has wasted opportunities to create a more peaceful world.  These betrayers have done nothing but--thru incompetence or design--throw fuel on the fires of hate and conflict for the past five years.

Those who still hold on to the nonsense that we're safer with these thugs in
the White House are deluding themselves.

Engraved on a wall at the British Imperial War Museum is a phrase attributed to Plato: "Only the dead have seen the end of war."
It was meant as a warning about the perils of arrogance and empire — and the Bush administration seems determined to prove the aphorism's truth.
