The Lethal Legacy of George W. Bush!
If you succumb to the temptation of using violence in the struggle… your
chief legacy to the future will be an endless reign of meaningless
chaos. Martin Luther King, Jr.
THE REVELATION
Funny, all this time most of us really thought it was a war. Early on,
many of us marched in futile protests to prevent Bushco from starting a
war. And when the bombing of Baghdad began, we joined people all over
the world to express our helpless outrage at what surely seemed to be
the waging of an illegal and immoral war. In fact, for more than three
and a half years of unrelenting bloodshed and horror, millions of us
have railed against what we understood to be a bloody and costly PNAC
war against Iraq. But we were wrong.
The new truth is that the invasion and occupation of Iraq, from its
premeditated start to any improbable finish, is not at war at all
Today, winds of change are in the air, and there is little doubt that
the military strategy in Iraq will change. But it will not change
because a war is failing. It will not change because people are dying in
greater and greater numbers. It will not change because the course taken
by this President was a crime against a sovereign nation and the
greatest deception every perpetrated on the American public.
It will not change because the Democrats won the Congress or because Jim
Baker and his Study Group have come to town.
It will change only when the President, with his extraordinary war
powers may decide that it must. And it will change in direct proportion
to the way he believes history will view him in the future.
In short, the debacle in Iraq is not a failed war that is a human
tragedy of horrific proportions. It is one thing and one thing only: the
war against Iraq is the sole act by which George W. Bush hopes to be
remembered. It is his war, it is his chess game, and in his mind it must
become his greatest legacy.
THE REALITY
George W. Bush really believes that he can alter his destiny in the last
two years of his presidency. He is convinced that he can call in the
cavalry and turn his catastrophic venture into a magical success. He
thinks that history will ignore the years that led to his ill-fated
invasion and remember only whatever happens from here on in. He thinks
that he will be judged by his illusory willingness to listen to saner
voices and to consider more competent ideas. He truly believes he can
morph his image from treachery to sainthood in the short time he has
left in office.
His is totally delusional.
George W. Bush is losing it. He really may be oblivious to the house of
cards that is crumbling all around him. He even may be unaware that his
neocon handlers have abandoned ship and left him alone with the fiasco
they steered him into. But he is fully cognizant of the calendar and he
must be getting desperate. He will surely make an attempt to create a
legacy that recognizes the man he wishes he could become. But he will fail.
No matter what happens in the next two years, George W. Bush cannot
escape the real legacy he has earned through his own efforts. It is far
too late for any more smoke and mirrors. Too much blood has been shed.
Too many lies have been exposed. Too much incompetence has been
displayed. It is far too late to sweep the first six years under the
proverbial rug and turn the last two Bush years into some false paradise.
As much as George Bush tires to rehabilitate his legacy, It just isn’t
going to happen.
