Bush's Swan Song

Bush delivered the coup de grace to the Republican party last night with his final address to the American people. He claimed there had not been a terrorist attack in the US since 9/11 which ignores the LAX EL Al counter murders of Victoria Hen and Yaakov Aminov and the Seattle JCC shooting spree which left Pamela Waechter dead. In the President's world, it seems Jews and Israelis don't count which is why, I suppose, the US abstained in the latest UN vote against Israel (and not for the first time in this administration either). Bush did not fulfill his promise to stop Iran nukes and did not stand by America's only democratic ally in the Middle East against forces that seek the eradication of the Jewish state. Bush leaves the economy a shambles. Bin Laden is alive and well enough to threaten in recorded messages. No one has been executed for perpetrating the September 11 atrocity. Those in American security services who were asleep at the wheel and allowed the al Qaeda menace to rise, flourish, and act in the bloodiest attack ever on American soil had their failures whitewashed. Bush and most Republicans betrayed conservative principles, allowing the enormous influx of illegal aliens, expanding entitlements to unprecedented levels, basically Federalizing education with No Child Left Behind, attacking free political speech with McCain-Feingold, and in the end, with lax oversight permitting the collapse of the economy, Bush began the imposition of socialism. The Democrats should love Bush Forty-three; he did more singlehandedly to destroy the Republican party than any Democrat ever did.
