The Meaning of Responsibility  The No-Fault White House

By RALPH NADER
T
he chronically no-fault White House and its no-fault President were on their no-fault roll again around the country. George W. Bush, the Commander-in-Chief of the politics of non-faultism-went on another redundant symbolic trip to Katrina land. There, near the wreckage that even now is much of New Orleans, he announced: "I take full responsibility for the federal government's response."

...If George W. Bush heard one message from the bone-weary residents during his trip again and again, it was the question, "Mr. President, are you going to turn your back on me?" "Not again," he replied to one witness. And then off he flew to the ranch at Crawford before taking off again to visit cities sounding his anti-terrorism theme.

...Polls and other indicators show that he is losing ground.   ...He compared the struggle against "Islamic extremists" to the battles against Nazism and Communism.

Consider this grotesque exaggeration. The Nazis launched an expansionist world war against numerous countries with what was then the most powerful military machine in the world. They slaughtered many millions of civilians. The Soviet communists possessed multiple nuclear capabilities which could destroy the United States in an hour-as the U.S. could do to them. Does George W. Bush have any idea what his prepared cue cards are telling him to utter?

...Inside the Bush Administration-from the General Casey to then CIA Director, Porter Goss-to outside the government among prominent former Generals, Ambassadors and intelligence officials, there is the realization that our military presence in Iraq is a recruiting magnet for training more and more young men for violent sabotage.

Many of the retired government officials, who have served under Republican and Democratic Administrations, have spoken out.

...He will never withdraw our troops and close our military bases no matter what the cost to our country and its ignored critical necessities here at home.

...In one of his desperate rhetorical reaches last week, Mr. Bush assailed his critics as "blaming American first." No, Mr. Bush, a growing majority of Americans are blaming you-George W. Bush-not America.

"The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum. whenever evil wins, it is only by default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles."  Ayn Rand
