The cascading effects of Bush’s splendid war in Iraq.

As the war in Iraq runs out of Bush’s control, we must not forget what it its has wrought on the world in general and us, in particular:

 1. Our legislature,judiciary, Press and other institutions are corrupted beyond redemption.
 2.The UN has been turned against us with all the member countries openly hostile to us.All the goodwill toward us has been eviscerated.
 3. Our economy is becoming a shambles.The once mighty auto industry, fully accounting for nearly one quarter of our jobs has been put on life support.The Technology Sector that was supposed to replace the loss of the auto jobs is itself being dismantled and sent over to India.

4. The war in Iraq has directly affected our own domestic Emergency Response System leading to the deaths of thousands of Americans in Katrina’s wake.

5.Gas, heating and elctricity prices are reaching for the stratosphere making it all but unaffordable to many ordinary Americans.This, in turn, has made the auto manufacturing business precarious.

6.The corruption, revealed by the indictments handed to DeLay and the White House toady David Safavian, shows the pervasiveness of the corruption in this administration.If, as expected, indictments are returned for Rove and Libby,the circle will close on one of the most corrupt periods in American history.

Bush is not just the worst President Ever.He has stolen the future from our children.For that crime, no punishment would suffice.

To me that defense and the heavy promotion of the WMD stories without verification by the NYT shows that the Times as an institution either got stuck with Judy’s preposterous claims or was itself part of the enablers for the war on Iraq.This would not be the first time American Press has served as propaganda tools for administrations.
