Most rational people looking at the surface of the Iraq war and, indeed, the Bush presidency as a whole would come to conclusion that both have been nothing short of catastrophic. I genuinely believe that this war has been about nothing other than money. Ask the CEO of Lockheed Martin if the Iraq war has been a failure. Ask the CEO of Blackwater if the Iraq war has been a failure. Ask the richest one percent of Americans if they believe the Bush presidency has been a failure. The abject cretin that Americans were dumb enough to elect to the highest office in the land accomplished EXACTLY what he and his dispicable cronies set out to do: Make the richest few that much richer. Bush got elected by convincing people that even though he was the billionaire SON OF A PRESIDENT he was just a down home country boy from Texas. Now, he's slinking out of the office and selling himself as a pitiable doofus who got in way over his head. Far from it; they did EXACTLY what they set out to do. They're not incompetent, they're greedy and corrupt to the point of obscenity.
