The Bush Regime

"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy -- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made"
--- From The Great Gatsby

Isn't that really what Bush was saying with his comment that ending the war of aggression in Iraq and bringing the troops home would have to wait for another president? Has not that been the story of his life?

Time and again, like Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire, Bush has “always depended on the kindness of strangers' to clean up the messes he has made of everything he's ever done. A failure in business who could not find oil in West Texas. A failure in the baseball world who would trade Sammy Sosa away for next to nothing. A failure in the world of state government, running Texas into the ground and burying its people in an ocean of red ink. Sound familiar?

Bush is a failure as president, running up the largest deficits in the history of the republic, bringing the specter of financial ruin to generations yet to be born. He is a failure as Commander-in-Chief, for as a result of his ill thought out war of aggression in Iraq, the army, reserves and national Guard are near the breaking point in terms of both men and material.

Finally, he is a failure of monumental proportions because of the damage he has done to the reputation of The United States of America. From pre-emptive war, to the acceptance of torture, to the Soviet style gulags in Guantamano and elswhere, to the brazen violation of the Bill of Rights in conducting warrantless monitoring of the words and deeds of American citizens.

It is past time to say ENOUGH! In the words of Robert Welch so long ago, 'At long last have you no shame?' Words today meant not for Bush, his Band of Bunglers and Cadre of Corruptables but words meant for the American people!

At long last America, have you no shame as a result of what these corrupt criminals have done and continue to do to America?"
