As President Bush chided Senate Democrats for going on vacation with the war supplemental bill not being resolved to his liking, my first reaction was; oh just when are we going to get our much needed vacation from President Bush?
The reason I say to his liking is because it sets a time line for our troops to leave Iraq. He is truly a man alone when he did not hear what the American people told him this past Election Day. I bet as many Americans were voting, their thoughts were, oh please let this be the end of Bush’s rule over our country as well as the GOPs. Well no such luck was to be had especially when the GOP as well does not get it. No, they would rather keep our troops over there.
In this scolding of Democrats this is what President Bush had to say, "the price of that failure will be paid by our troops and their loved ones," Well now, President Bush do I have a bone to pick with you when it comes to failures and who has paid the price.
Right now there is a hole in the ground in NY City called Ground Zero. It was through your incompetence that it is there. It was prior to this attack that President Bush was on his first of many month-long vacations. For a man that wanted to be president, he has sure taken many of them. Meanwhile 3,000 victims who perished on that day will never get another vacation.
Bush ignored many of the warnings prior to that horrific event and he dares to lecture the Democrats? Richard Clarke who served under several administrations as an expert in counter-terrorism warned President Bush of Al Qaeda, but Clarke was ignored. Bush also ignored the Hart/Rudman report which came out shortly after he took the oath of office. President Bush sure likes to ignore warnings and we pay the price.
