An Amazing Failure, Even for Bush

During his four year term as our court appointed President, George Bush has provided all too frequent examples of his incompetence; from turning record surpluses into record deficits, to starting wars with countries based on non-existent threats.

But today’s news that 380 tons of powerful explosives have gone missing from a weapons depot in Iraq is a startling blunder even for Bush. How much is 380 tons? On a radio report tonight I learned that it would fill 40 truck loads to move 380 tons of explosives! One pound of such an explosive can bring down an airliner, and we’ve given away 40 truckloads of the stuff.

George Bush led us to war against a nation to hunt for weapons and terrorists that were not there. And now that we are there, we’ve opened the door to the terrorists who weren’t there to begin with, and let them help themselves to the explosives that they’ll be using to kill American soldiers and civilians for years to come.

We shouldn’t be discussing another 4 years in the White House for Bush, we should be discussing the length of his prison term for gross incompetence. And they impeached Clinton over a blow job. Mind boggling.
