I'm not sure how much or if it'll get much play. But there was a great passage in the president's press conference today where he basically speaks on behalf of posterity and speculates about how future generations might look back and wonder how the American people could have been so shortsighted as to ditch President Bush's policies ....

I know it's incumbent upon our government and others who enjoy the blessings of liberty to help those moderates succeed because, otherwise, we're looking at the potential of this kind of world: a world in which radical forms of Islam compete for power; a world in which moderate governments get toppled by people willing to murder the innocent; a world in which oil reserves are controlled by radicals in order to extract blackmail from the West; a world in which Iran has a nuclear weapon. And if that were to occur, people would look back at this day and age and say, what happened to those people in 2006? How come they couldn't see the threat to a future generation of people?

Let's be candid. Go ten, twenty, fifty years, whatever into the future. Which is more likely, that our descendents will marvel at the folly of our adventure in Iraq or marvel that the American people were too impatient to give his policies a chance?

George Bush, a man before his time?

Think about it.

1. He's a vile, despicable gangster leading a corrupt kleptocracy

He's as delusional as Nero and as monstrous as Caligula. Future generations will marvel that the most powerful nation on earth allowed this horror to manipulate its course for so long. I already do.

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. They'll scratch their heads in amazement at our stupidity for not jailing him

by the end of 2003.

They'll say, "How could you fucking do that to the world? Let that shitpot run free? Why didn't you stop him?"

And they will cast scorn and derision on us as they continue the 50 year process of paying off our debt, fixing the infrastructure we allowed to be totally fucked, repair the foreign relationships we shit on and threw away, and try to clean a world that we left polluted almost to the point of death.

And more than likely, they will never forgive us, and these years will be the most shameful years of American history that no American will ever want to talk about; much in the way that Germans don't like to talk about the WWII years.

3. George Bush .. a man ahead of his brain

not one success can be attribute to this pathetic piece of MBA

[Ready4Change]

4. If so, kill me now.

If the future is the type of place for a man like Dubya, I'm staying right here.

Frankly, I hope for a hell of a lot better future than that!

5. Unless we are devolving, no.

[Redneck Socialist]

6. So it really is a war against Islam

That's what I thought when I heard that passage this AM.

He's finally admitted, albeit obliquely, that the war is about oil and that he see Islamists as the enemy.

Fucktard. (bush I mean not you)

7. George Bush, a man?

8. Yep, the "man" part lost me. n/t
