THE END IS NEAR!!!

Well, the drunken cowboy approach to national security and domestic policy is not only pretty unpopular with the American people now, but its days as the guiding philosophy behind the executive branch of our government are almost up as well.

Bush and Cheney have been on somewhat of a "fairwell tour" as of late (lulz), and they've been trying to highlight their accomplishments....no, that wasn't a joke. They actually see themselves as having had some success. Their biggest and most recurring claim to success is that they've kept us "safe" in the 7.5 years sinice 9/11/01.

...does no one else see this as a huge oxymoron? Do they not expect us to take 9/11 into consideration of when we were or were not safe? Domestic murder rates, as well as global terrorism, have increased since 2001. More violent crimes, more homicides, more terrorist attacks, a more hostile Russia, a more hostile Iran, and more hostile Palestine....I could go on. We are not safer in any sense of the word. But the biggest joke is still the suggestion that we should overlook what happened on 9/11, the biggest loss of civilian life EVER on American soil. Considering that it too happened during the Bush presidency, under his watch, and as a result of his neglect, it is definitely relevant and should definitely be a huge mark against him. It alone is enough to declare him a failure, but of course, there's more.

Bush also likes to list his "success" in Iraq and in the war on terror.

lolwut?

Again, by every estimation, global terrorism has done nothing but increase exponentially since the invasion of Iraq, and even the most hardline conservatives can't deny that the Iraq war itself was instigated under false intelligence. This negates any supposition of gratitude toward Bush for implementing the surge, or any other military tactics. It is regrettable that we even needed a surge in the first place. Coupled with the fact that "terror" is an ideology and not a country, it makes absolutely zero sense to claim that you've had success in a war on terror.

Anyway, I, along with the rest of world, can't wait for this imbecilic presidency to be over, but I'd like to know what The Clique thinks about the Bush Administration, and if anyone else has a response to Bush and Cheney's recent claims of "success" during their reign.
