Beginning with 9/11 -- and Bush's failure to protect America against hijackings that he and Condoleezza were warned about in advance, but took no security actions to stop, resulting in the September 11th hijackings -- George W. Bush has weakened national security and the U.S. government's ability to protect its citizens at almost every level. This is just a fact.
Bush, under the tutelage of Rove, gets high ratings for PR stunts, intimidation of the media, and the appearance of being the "paternal protector." But the reality is just the opposite.
In fact if Osama bin Laden wanted to invent a leader to bring America to its knees, it would be hard to imagine a more effective role model than George W. Bush.
The man in the White House is a combination pathological liar, narcissist, spiteful person and ignoramus. He could have made a living charming old ladies out of their fortunes by riding the circuit on cruise ships. But that would have been the only success in business that he ever achieved on his own.
The appearance of being strong on national security is belied by how much more vulnerable America has become over the five years of Bushevik rule. We have deteriorated to the point that we couldn't even get food and water to people in a major American city for five days, even though journalists and others found the resources to visit with and document the citizens condemned to misery by a man who likes to play the guitar and golf while others suffer unspeakable fates.
There is nothing about the above statements that I find any fault with. The man is an embarrassment to my country but more then that I seriously believe that he is doing possibly irreparable harm.
