DALLAS — You’d expect George W. Bush’s library to be Texas-sized, and 43’s monument to his eight years as President won’t disappoint when it opens in the spring of 2013.

But a solitary jagged, twisted reminder of New York City’s worst day will unquestionably become the centerpiece of the 43,000 artifacts available for display at the library and its adjoining institute.

The 16.7-foot, 1.85-ton piece of mangled steel isn’t just any relic from America’s hallowed ground — experts say it’s “impact steel,” struck directly by one of the hijacked jets that slammed into the Twin Towers on 9/11.

Engineers who have studied the steel — known as a C-11 panel — say it’s the remnant of a triple-beam and crossbeam section from three upper floors.

What a fitting tribute to arguably the greatest failure of that worthless ape's rancid presidency.

[lob1]

1. Too bad they didn't use that steel to build something

worthwhile.

[AsahinaKimi]

20. Yes

Like for his prison bars.

[BlueMTexpat]

38. My reaction exactly. n/t

[Mad_Dem_X]

68. +1

[bbgrunt]

2. very appropos since he seemed so proud of his designation

as a "war presnit" and drove the country across the Rubicon because of it.

[baldguy]

3. A reminder of his greatest failure

And his greatest crime.

[Kurmudgeon]

4. If he wanted to get his war on, it's hardly a failure.

[baldguy]

6. *dup*

[baldguy]

7. Of course *HE* doesn't think so. For him it's a trophy.

[pacalo]

8. He was warned about the attacks but did NOTHING about it.

But that piece of steel, to me, represents the free ticket the profound tragedy gave him to begin his fascist agendae.

[Kablooie]

5. He probably sees it as his greatest accomplishment.

[opihimoimoi]

9. Its a REMINDER of his intentional Failure to express a warning after recieving info of impending

attack.....

5 weeks before 9/11....at a meeting...W was told of credible warnings of terror attacks....

NOTHING WAS DONE cept Ignore....

[azureblue]

31. The display card should read

"Bush was warned about an attack, but he did nothing and let this happen. This is the summary of the Bush presidency"

[opihimoimoi]

44. Ed Zachery

[RamboLiberal]

49. The August 6th PDB should be displayed above the steel

"Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US"

and George Bush went fishing.

[sakabatou]

10. *puke*

[AntiFascist]

11. For the Libertarian anarcho-capitalists...

this is symbolic of Bush's tremendous accomplishment, allowing the wealthiest 1% to become that much wealthier than the 99% in the wake of 9-11.

[roman7]

12. crosseyed george strikes again

i know that im not the smartest person around but it just kills me a little whenever i see people like little bushy 2 shoot right to the top and not have enough sense to open a door . but the day he climbed on top the rubble with cheerleading megaphone in hand i knew we were well and truly fucked.

[diane in sf]

13. Good, they didn't destroy all the evidence. Let's test it for explosives.

[pinboy3niner]

14. So the plans to display the nukes from Iraq are still on hold, then

We're still waiting...

[tomm2thumbs]

15. Will it be next to the 'MY PET GOAT' exhibit?

and just a short throw away from the 'TOSS A SHOE AT BUSH' interactive display?






That would be my favorite exhibit

[trusty elf]

18. ........

[krispos42]

16. The Failure Showcase.

Of course, the entire library is a monument to failure: how not to get elected, how not to tally votes, how not to run an administration, who not to put in your administration, who not to put on the judge's bench, what things not to make administrative priorities, how not to conduct foreign policy, how not to negotiate with political rivals, how not to play the international political game, etc.

[LuckyLib]

45. Somehow "library" and "Bush" are jarring terms when they appear in the same sentence.

Great description of his epic failure on all levels.

[mwrguy]

17. 9/11 was his greatest achievement. Of course he wants a trophy.

Fuck that guy.

[primavera]

21. Exactly

How else could he have persuaded a democracy to voluntarily become a plutocratic and theocratic police state? It was the best thing that could possibly have happened to an otherwise unremarkable, AWOL, flunkie cokehead who failed in every enterprise.

[PuffedMica]

22. War Trophy

[hyphenate]

70. Serial killers almost always

wants trophies of their best work. George will be so happy!

[trusty elf]

19. ground zero

[Vinca]

23. Will it also have the caskets of the military men and women and

innocent Iraqis who had nothing to do with 9/11 and didn't have to die?

[Demeter]

24. W's Greatest Accomplishment

a Suitable place for it.

[sulphurdunn]

34. A better place

would be up his ass.

[aquart]

25. How very appropriate.

[RoccoR5955]

26. I heard it was finished.

And the coloring books and comic books were there. Not to mention, a copy of "My Pet Goat."

[madokie]

27. What they need to do with the steel from the Trade Center

is make the bars that houses the war criminals who perpetrated this. You know dick and w and the rest of the crew.

[RoccoR5955]

46. After they see if there are any remnants of

thermite, or evidence of it in the metal. Or evidence that the steel was not stressed by building collapse, and maybe it was something else.

[marias23]

28. He's a psychopath

No conscience. Forgive him.

[lunatica]

29. It's claim to his fame? That it happened on his watch

That is supposed to enhance his liberry? Enhance his legacy?

Maybe they should include the cell phone video of Saddam getting hanged too. And why not the gun he got that belonged to Saddam?

I could just on and on.

[bedazzled]

30. there are pieces of the world trade center EVERYWHERE. they must be selling it....

there's a piece of it at the "patriot memorial" in wellington, florida. along with a fountain and an eternal flame. i can't figure out what's patriotic about it, but that's another story. there are pieces of it in palm beach gardens, tequesta, and all over the world. best i can figure is they've figured out how to make a profit out of it.

[Lucky Luciano]

32. I guess it is a proper way to remember his biggest failure as president. nt

[ensho]

33. how arrogant he and they are - they probably snicker about using it

nt

[Turbineguy]

35. A fitting tribute

indeed.

[russspeakeasy]

36. He and his old man were two of the biggest crooks

this country has ever had. One example other than the senseless wars,
:Ken Lay for Energy Secretary.
Nuff said.

[Botany]

37. Makes sense to me because w/out W that steel would .....

.... still be part of the WTC and the buildings would still be standing.





BTW to any Freepers or Lurkers please go and check if what I have posted is not true.
I mean it go and check it out! W was told and didn't do a damn thing except stay on
vacation for an extra month.

[formercia]

39. How convenient he was in Florida on 9/11

since the White House was also on the target list.

[onehandle]

40. Happened on a Republican President's watch. nt

[fascisthunter]

41. ah, yes... propping himself up on a heap he helped create

what a disgusting filthy human beings he and his supporters are. They wrap themselves in anything sacred, deluding themselves for personal gain, the ultimate disrespect to the sacred they claim to idolize.

[on point]

42. Good to know a relic of his failure will be present always

"Isn't this the presiddent who ignored the warning that Al Queda was prepared to strike?"
"Yes, see there is a relic from the attack to document his failure forever"

[snot]

43. I thot all the steel was hauled off before it could be subjected to forensic analysis.

[defendandprotect]

47. WTC steel ended up in the right place -- !! MIHOP -- no one more than W Bush/Cheney -- !!

[goforit]

67. With this steel, may the 911 spirits haunt him ever more

[UTUSN]

48. They're using a piece of his HEAD?!1 OmZ, doesn't he *need* that?!1 n/t

[nilram]

50. Sick, sick, sick person.

They made sure to scrap as much of the building as they could, so that no forensics could be done, but kept enough to feed their fascistic wet dreams.

[Ter]

51. Can we test the steel for explosive traces?

Hmm...

[tabasco]

52. I hope it has a copy of the PDB:

"Bin Laden Determined to Strike Inside U.S."

The one AWOL Bush and National Security Advisor Condi Rice ignored.

Condi Fucking Rice. National Security Advisor. Frat Boy Bush. President of the United Fucking States.

It's a wonder any of us fucking survived.

[wordpix]

59. Let's add the 2 dates that Richard Clarke met with Condi & later with *'s top security people

Even though Clarke had totally connected the dots about al Qaeda, his plans to strike first were met with a shelving of the plans---twice. The first meeting with Rice was right after * took office and the second time was in late Aug. 2001, as I recall. If this wasn't LIHOP, it was TOTAL incompetence and negligence.

[Octafish]

53. Crook's lucky it doesn't feature iron from his cell bars.

Can't wait for the investigations to begin. Oh, wait a minute. Whatever happened to the investigations about lying America into war, illegal spying, outting a NOC, welfare for cronies...

[immoderate]

54. One of his turds, on a pedestal, should also be prominently displayed.

The spirit has me. :)

--imm

[jmowreader]

62. With a can of polish right beside it.

[Martin Eden]

55. "Twisted remnant"

There's one on display whenever Chimpy visits.

[unkachuck]

56. "...43,000 artifacts available for display at the library..."

....one, "...16.7-foot, 1.85-ton piece of mangled steel..." and 43,000 artifacts (used condoms) representing the number of times the chimp fucked the American people....

[Blue Owl]

57. Wow -- that'll remind everyone of the official story

:sarcasm:

[JoeyT]

58. I think we should take the worst part of his presidency (according to him),

and make it part of the library.

It shouldn't take much to slap a plaque full of mean words from Kanye West on there.

[BlueToTheBone]

60. Only that bastard would be proud to have

that in his library. The triumph of having destroyed the US shown in all its gory.

[jmowreader]

61. It's going to have the "Mission Accomplished" banner over it?

That's a magical piece of steel, tho...it turned the first male First Lady in our nation's history into our first dictator. So it really needs to be in there.

On edit: Reagan's library contains a piece of the Berlin Wall that he had no role in opening, so Bush's library should contain a piece of the scrap Bush absolutely had a role in creating.

[The Second Stone]

63. The foundation of the Bush Administration

was the fear and hatred whipped up after 9/11. It is appropriate that the Bush Worship Palace incorporates as its centerpiece the consequences of the Bush Administration ignoring the dangers of Osama bin Ladin.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

64. More proof (as if any more was necessary)

that Bush/Cheney exploited 9/11 for political gain. That piece of steel should be treated as an albatross on his (p)residency rather than a monument to it. And it belongs in a museum!

[yurbud]

65. like his grandpa stealing Geronimo's skull as a trophy for Skull & Bones

[dogfacedboy]

66. Fuck Bush, and Fuck ANYONE who doesn't think he's a piece of shit...

[hyphenate]

69. I would suggest a few additions to his library as well

How about the olane he allegedly flew as part of TANG during the Virtnam War?

Better yet, what the grades a legacy Yale attendee had, in the form of a report card.

Oh! What we really, really need to show would have to be surgically removed--Dick Cheney's boot up W's ass.

How about some of those shrubs he kept going back to Texas to clear off his ranch?

How about the blood of the first victims of the Iraq war, both our soldiers AND civilians.

M,,,...well, we could certainly show his bank statement with all the money he received from Enron, AIG or Goldman and Sachs.

Wow--this is so much fun! I can think of so many things we should put there. How about putting Babs there when she dies? Properly stuffed and mummiefied--oh wait, she already looks like a mummy.

We can't forget a blooper reel of all the moments of embarassment the American people had when their leader committed acts of horror on other leaders--like trying to give Angela Merkel a "neck massage," or fucking up when trying to get out of a door, proving that he is dumber than the door itself.

How about a copy of the Daily Memo (or whatever it was called) he received before 9/11? I think everyone in the country would like to see that.

Oh! We must include the "Mission Accomplished" banner. It could be strung up by the entrance to the library, and they sell Alka Seltzer right next to it for those with nausea.



I'm sure we could all add itemsm couldn't we? Just think of all the mortgages people could kindly add to the documents part of the library. Indeed, I almost forgot to add the "intelligence" presented by the admin. trying to validate going to war against Iraq.

This is fun. :evilgrin:

[Politicub]

71. How fitting for the disaster porn president

:eyes:

[Sivafae]

72. Well, it is what built his presidency.
