He's going to live in the next town over. Great. Now, I've got to move because every radical Muslim is going to want to nuke Dallas.
Well well well, we got to watch his supposed final speech to the nation. I don't know what kind of drugs presidents are given but, anything that causes someone to hallucinate and be as delusional as he was last night must be some really good shit.
Let's see, here's some of the highlights:
Summarizing eight — and at times turbulent — years in office, Bush told the country that while his policies have been unpopular, there can be little debate about the results: "America has gone more than seven years without another terrorist attack on our soil." No mention of the lapse in security allowing the first attack.
We have taken the fight to the terrorists and those who support them. Afghanistan has gone from a nation where the Taliban harbored al-Qaida and stoned women in the streets to a young democracy that is fighting terror and encouraging girls to go to school. Where they risk having acid thrown in their faces by the members of the Taliban we supposedly removed from power but ho have since 2002 regrouped and are better armed than ever.
Iraq has gone from a brutal dictatorship and a sworn enemy of America to an Arab democracy at the heart of the Middle East and a friend of the United States. The same brutal dictator that your choice for secretary of defense Rumsfeld, shook hands with. After he gassed 1000's of his enemies and own people with chemical weapons that neo-cons in the Reagan administration sold him. An Arab democracy full of Al-Qaida terrorists, suicide bombers, an infra structure decimated with intermittent electricity and limited supplies of clean water, millions of unemployed, innocent men, women and children killed or maimed by U.S. artillery or religious zealots, etc etc. Great success!
The battles waged by our troops are part of a broader struggle between two dramatically different systems. Under one, a small band of fanatics demands total obedience to an oppressive ideology, condemns women to subservience and marks unbelievers for murder. The other system is based on the conviction that freedom is the universal gift of Almighty God, and that liberty and justice light the path to peace. In this statement we can see the great scope of understanding and insight that "W' has acquired. He forgot to tell us that the Almighty God he speaks of is the one true God, all the rest are myths and superstitions.
He adds: When people live in freedom, they do not willingly choose leaders who pursue campaigns of terror. See the Palestinians and their democratically elected Ha mas leadership.
For eight years, we've also strived to expand opportunity and hope here at home. Across our country, students are rising to meet higher standards in public schools. Yes this is true. However, this is due to teachers having to teach to the test. No longer do teachers have the freedom to teach critical thinking skills. Everything is by wrote and memorization. A well rounded education during the first 12 years of academia is all but extinct. Children no nothing of current events or social studies. Furthermore several science, music, and regional history classes are gone. It's much more of an indoctrination than an education.
He told us that his prescription program helped senior citizens better afford the drugs they need. No, sir what you and your accomplices in congress did was not allow medicare to purchase less expensive drugs costing tax payers billions, raising the cost to the patient, and resulting in the largest increase in drug company profits in history. Where's that free market enterprise you guys keep harping on?
Every taxpayer pays lower income taxes. Thank you . . . I guess. Lower taxes contributed to the decay of our infrastructure, turned a surplus into the largest deficit in our country's history, and it's also the first time in history that taxes were reduced during a time of war.
While our nation is safer than it was seven years ago, the gravest threat to our people remains another terrorist attack. So if the gravest threat to our people remains another terrorist attack . . . exactly how are we safer?
America did nothing to seek or deserve this conflict. No but our military industrial complex and government's foreign policies did.
America must maintain our moral clarity. I've often spoken to you about good and evil, and this has made some uncomfortable. But good and evil are present in this world, and between the two of them there can be no compromise. Murdering the innocent to advance an ideology is wrong every time, everywhere. Moral clarity?! Torture is moral? And yes you speak of good and evil all the damn time! Who are you talking too? 5 year olds?! If murdering the innocent in order to advance an ideology is wrong, then how can "W' rationalize our bombs killing civilians in his attempt to advance the ideology of Democracy?
Bush said he leaves with a "thankful heart." He expressed gratitude to his family. "Above all, I thank the American people for the trust you have given me."
That trust, however, has eroded over the years. His approval rating soared to 90 percent after the Sept. 11 attacks, but he's leaving office as a new Gallup Poll puts it at 34 percent. That's up from 25 percent just before the November elections, reflecting a bump that presidents commonly get just before they leave office.
Yes Mr. Bush you spoke of good and evil often during your presidency in an effort to rally support for you and your cohorts Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and the rest of the neo-con retreads from previous administrations, greedy and power hungry imperialist desires. Let's hope that it's not too late and the damage you've caused can be repaired. Good bye and good riddance!!
