Bush Failures

At the risk of repeating some of which I have written before, I have to ask a rhetorical question. How often would any of us trust again and again anyone, whatever the relationship, who continually mislead, misinformed, lacked knowledge, and showed contempt toward us?

If we would not stand for such treatment from someone we know personally I would have to ask why US citizens and legislators are so quiet when in spite of our shameful horrendous mess in Iraq our foolhardy President with urging by an unnamed country and his “guardian” Dick Chaney now threatens a strike on Iran.

As expected, to bring disciples on board, Mr. Bush prefaces the military threat with the age-old double standard of whom in this world he grants permission to develop nuclear power. He tells us in effect, Just believe; I know what they’re up to, and maybe if they do what I tellem, maybe we won’t strike.

Let’s do a brief review of our President’s track record: How about kicking out weapons inspectors from Iraq while they were still searching for WMD’s. Remember “Mission Accomplished” on the aircraft carrier? Then there was the accepted advice from “Rummy”, “We’re just being temporarily hassled by a few dead-end thugs.” Or domestically, never mind the financial cost in Iraq, we still need to give hefty tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans. Remember the horrific suffering of Katrina and “You’re doing a heckova job Brownie”? But in all fairness, don’t we all know he was so out front in his knowledge of global warming?

I ask again the same question. Would we put trust in any one of our acquaintance who exhibited such blatant incompetence and irresponsibility? If your answer is NO, I would ask how can we stand by quietly and permit such behavior in a President who in spite of our Iraq tragedy threatens to embroil us in yet another one?

What is left for us but to embrace the only action at are disposal and that is to call our US district representative or US senator and let them know too much is at stake to allow an unfettered Mr. Bush to lead us to more destruction. And if we need to take to the streets, so be it.
