George W. Bush Has Hurt the United States More Than Bin Laden Ever Could Have.

[David Zephyr]

The most devastating weapon of mass destruction ever employed against the people of the United States of America has been George W. Bush. No enemy, foreign or domestic, has ever hurt our fair country more than this single man. None. Not ever.

1.) Our once powerful military is now just a ruined and broken shadow of what it once was. Our soldiers and Marines are worn out and have been abused. Our military hardware and weapons have been depleted and we are vulnerable now as never before in over 200 years. Osama bin Laden didn't do that to America. George W. Bush did!

2.) Our banking system, once the underpinning of the entire world, is about to possibly be nationalized as it collapses before our very eyes. Osama bin Laden didn't do that to America. George W. Bush did!

3.) Our collective business community, large and small, is in peril from coast to coast as credit is unavailable and as they have been forced to compete against 23 cent/hour slave labor in China. Osama bin Laden didn't do that to America. George W. Bush did!

4.) Our equity markets are in a free fall of panic with no bottom in sight. Osama bin Laden only took out two towers on Wall Street while George W. Bush has just about taken down all of Wall Street.

5.) We lost the City of New Orleans and watched our fellow citizens drowning, dying of thirst and starving to death in front of our eyes. We watched them being prohibited from leaving by force. And he grinned, partied and ate cake with John McCain and played air guitar in San Diego as our fellow Americans perished. Osama bin Laden did not do that to the people of New Orleans. George W. Bush did.

6.) Our national integrity is gone and the trust America had once around the world for centuries is gone. Our national government is a joke. Osama bin Laden did not do that to America. George W. Bush did.

7.) Our personal savings and retirement investments are nearly gone now leaving tens of millions of older Americans in dire straights and in fear for their very futures. Osama bin Laden didn't do that to America. George W. Bush did!

8.) Our manufacturing base, the bedrock of our nation, is 1/10th of what it once was. Osama bin Laden didn't do that to America. George W. Bush did!

9.) There are now millions of Americans being evicted from their homes. Millions of children are watching mommy and daddy being forced to live in their cars, tent cities and homeless shelters. Osama bin Laden didn't do that to America. George W. Bush did!

10.) The first biological attack on American soil against our own people did not come from Osama bin Laden, but from the government run by George W. Bush.

11.) Our constitutional form of government, our very civil liberties, our habeas corpus rights, our right to privacy have been assaulted and undermined and stripped away from us. Osama bin Laden didn't do that to America. George W. Bush did!

12.) Our precious, but fragile democracy, our right to free elections, our right to count the votes and to verify the outcome of elections is a joke now. Osama bin Laden didn't do that to America. George W. Bush did!

George W. Bush has been a greater enemy to the American people than anyone in modern times and no single individual has ever hurt our beloved country more than this man.

1. That was his job n/t

[ixion]

9. exactly

and it was bin Laden's job to pop his head up and go 'boo!' once in awhile.

The have a good laugh about it over martinis in Dubai, I imagine.

[shooga]

12. his job or poppy's CIA's job ...

... to pop his head up once in a while .....
........

[alterfurz]

17. yup...Mission Accomplished!

[David Zephyr]

21. Pretty much accomplished, huh?

One single man did so much damage our beloved country.

[alterfurz]

43. Republicans don't do irony, but...

al Qaeda might, in which case bin Laden is probably chuckling up the sleeve of his robe right now at how George of the Bungle did more to destroy America than Osama ever dreamed of!

[aquart]

2. The manufacturing thing? That was Ronnie.

[kimmerspixelated]

3. Don't forget to tell him goodbye in a special way:

A great site: www.farewell43.com

[David Zephyr]

18. Great link. Thanks!

[ladjf]

4. Your thoughtful list of harms Bush has done to America isn't,

as they say, the half of it. He is the one that should be "hunted down and brought to justice".

[DrDan]

5. I have always wondered whether OBL was smart enough to know

the reaction junior would have - and what the consequences would mean.

Could he have known that getting junior to react the way he did would have more impact than many many 911's.

[xxqqqzme]

45. he knew - * & OBL are brothers - sons of money & privilege.

They both chose murder & mayhem as their means to advance their agendas.

[defendandprotect]

6. Not by accident . . . but by plan --

[lpbk2713]

7. I couldn't agree with you more .... K&R

That's got to be the most profound statement I've read on here lately.

[tridim]

8. Yet still, after the GOP tries to blame the whole thing on the "Evil Democrats"..

They will then blame it on Bin Laden and the "terrorists" who "Hate us for our freedom". They will never blame themselves.

I know these Repukes too well.

[dailykoff]

10. Osama didn't take the Trade Center off their hands, either

and Oswald didn't kill Jack Kennedy.

[jtrockville]

11. THE UNITED STATES TORTURES PEOPLE

courtesy of George W. Bush.

[Donnachaidh]

13. no shit sherlock. n/t

[OwnedByFerrets]

14. Unfortunately,

his shit has slopped over and gotten all over the world. Who knew he could not only fuck up every business he ever touched (me) and every office he ever held (me), but also the entire fucking world. (not me)

That one went beyond EVEN my comprehension.

[FiveGoodMen]

15. But he didn't do it single-handedly

He had 60 million accomplices.

America could have fought against him, but most were happy to go along.

(Just a reminder that even after Bush is gone, the motherfuckers who approve of him will still be among us -- causing as much damage as they can...and plotting the next take-over.)

[FREEWILL56]

47. You are 100% right, unfortunately.

It was also quite bipartisan.

[burythehatchet]

16. It has always been a partnership. That which helps one helps the other.

[SammyWinstonJack]

19. The Real Mission Accomplished!

[Laelth]

20. I agree.

[BREMPRO]

22. thanks so much George Bin Bushen.... great job!

he effectively and totally fuc*ed us over.

[cboy4]

23. Yup .. mister 19 percent and dropping has terrorized us.

[bdamomma]

24. how can this man still be standing, he would be gone in another

country. Sad very sad, that this one man could not be confronted by millions of us.

[WillyT]

25. Yep...

K & R !!!

[peekaloo]

26. New World Odor.

McPain should be directing their hate against THIS ONE.

[Orsino]

27. We know we survived 9/11.

It's not yet entirely clear that we will survive *.

[BeFree]

28. Nope. NO,NO,NO

It was all an accident! They didn't mean for any of this to happen, there was no conspiracy. They love us and would never harm us. Its all our fault. Go shopping!!

[DeeDeeNY]

29. K & R, and adding environmental destruction as #13

“George W. Bush will go down in history as America's worst environmental president. In a ferocious three-year attack, the Bush administration has initiated more than 200 major rollbacks of America's environmental laws, weakening the protection of our country's air, water, public lands and wildlife.”
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (written in 2004!)

[WCGreen]

30. Bin Laden anticipated the over reaction of "this one...."

He knew Clinton wouldn't react like Bush did and he also knew that Gore wouldn't. This attack was tailor made for Georgy Porgy...

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

31. Always Phrase Things Like This As "The Republicans Led By George W. Bush".

[indepat]

32. None of this amounts an iota, a hill of beans, to the true-believer and this election

just might be close enough to again be stolen: the insanity/sheer madness prevailing in a large segment of the American populace defies belief/is incomprehensionable.

[Ka hrnt]

33. Our Long National Nightmare Of Peace And Prosperity Is Finally Over

I can't believe no has posted this yet.

http://www.theonion.com/content/node/28784

(That being said, while I think Bush was a lousy--being polite here--president, he certainly is not culpable for everything on the above list.)

[lib2DaBone]

34. Psychologically.. if you look what we have endured for 8 years...

The damage is done. From Homeland Security to the Patriot Act to TSA to New Orleans to The Surge, I think the damage inflicted on the American Psyche may never be repaired. IMHO, I think "The Stockholm Syndrome" is a reality among Americans. Ideas and (Memes) that 20 years ago would have repulsed people, today ,are taken at face value. We stand at the airport with our shoes in our hand and our pants falling down, and no one says a word, while TSA Goons feel up our wives. We let one company own all the TV and Radio stations in the country and we let Faux newx blare obscenities 24 hours a day. Until our paid servants in CONgress start to do the will of the people, there is no hope for this country... our time is past as world leaders and we are now officially a Banana Republic.

[fascisthunter]

35. with Help from his anti-American Posers

[Carolina]

36. K&R

[Overseas]

37. K&R to face the truth. //

[CalJen]

38. So true! n/t

[Boo Boo]

39. China?

Thought that was Bill Clinton.

[BrklynLiberal]

40. I have felt for years that prez shit-for-brains could not have done worse if he were actually a paid

agent of a foreign enemy government. Everything he has done seemed to be aimed at undermining and/or destroying everything good and positive about this country.
I guess his ancestral history of Fascism could not be held back...

[Senator]

41. Failure To Impeach Him Is More Damaging Still

Because while it's bad enough to have a criminal wreaking havoc in your community, having a corrupt police force is an entirely new leval of lasting, core-level damage.

And no, it's not "too late." We can still begin to Redeem Our National Soul if we keep demanding impeachment.

It could even save our economy by reuniting the nation around the core principles that made us once-trusted.

Unless and until this regime is formally rebuked there can be no confidence in anything they're involved in or any "solution" they are a party to -- for any problem.

42. Well said

Would you mind if I copy this and e-mail it far and wide?

Thanks

[Grinchie]

44. Tell this to Nancy Pelosi

Apparently she thinks there is no proof.

[Johnny2X2X]

46. New name for Bush

I've been calling him:

George "The Buck Stops over there Somewhere" Bush

[mentalsolstice]

48. Bu$h eclipsed OBL's wildest dreams

Supposedly OBL was surprised the Towers collapsed the way they did. If Gore had been president, OBL probably would have gone on with 9/11, but would've never imagined in his wildest dreams that The US would've become as crippled as it is now. And with Gore as president he may have never attacked us on our shores at all, who knows...with Bu$h in office, he may have smelled fresh, red, moose meat for the taking.

[JudyM]

49. I don't know: Bush? Or Cheney and Rove? nt

[upi402]

51. REPUBLICANS, we need to start using that word...

... I think, because Bush is out in a month. It was the money elites, their media, and the politicians in both parties especially the Republicans. I hope we label them like they made the label "liberal" sound dirty.

[workinclasszero]

50. No doubt Bush and his party are weapons of mass destruction

aimed at the middle-class heart of America. OBL can only dream of doing a quarter of the damage George Bush and the republicans have done to America these past eight years.

[YogaforCynics]

52. What's not said enough....

Everyone agrees that Osama Bin Laden knows what he's doing, and that he follows American politics. He knew damn well that George W. Bush wouldn't react to the 9/11 attacks by disengaging from the Middle East and would, in fact, not only invade Afghanistan but use the attacks as an excuse to invade Iraq and possibly Iran, igniting incredible amounts of hatred in the region toward the U.S., and serving as a perfect recruiting tool for Al Queda as well as weakening the U.S.. In other words, Bush has done exactly what Al Queda wanted him to. So much for the "war on terror."

[earth mom]

53. Been saying it for years-* & Co are the REAL terrorists. nt

[mwooldri]

54. They said this was a "Bushism" but maybe this was the real plot?

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." —George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004
