For Many It Will Be Too Little, Too Late From Bush

George Walker Bush                  
43rd President of the United States





Well, I always knew he was compassionate.

I could see it in him everyday.

And I was ever so thankful George W. Bush was who he was during this time, and not of the substance of former President Jimmy Carter.

So, President Bush is vocalizing, in his twilight days of his presidency, that he is having regrets about his portrayal of himself….his legacy. 

I don’t blame him…for himself anyway.  He didn’t start out his presidency expecting to have to lead the country during a war on terrorism.

I know he protected me and my family by many different means.  And I realize one of those means was the greatest sacrifice of all, and so does he.  And I thank those soldiers and their families....eternally.

I know so many of you will read or hear his words and snicker, and say, too little, too late.

That's your prerogative.

I hope some day you'll be able to look back and see that you were wrong.

But I hope it won't be because of tragic circumstances .

Interesting article.  So let me get this straight:

President Bush now recognizes that using diplomacy in Iran might be a better choice than bully tactics.  

He believes that it might have been a good idea to tone down the gun-slinging rhetoric, which made him look like war-loving President in the months leading up to the Iraq War.  He truly is a man of peace.  

He wants to replace the unilateralist agenda of his first term with a more multilateralist agenda in his second term.

He now recognizes that Kyoto should probably exist in some shape or form.  (this one is comical)

He wants to have a hand in establishing a sovereign Palestine in order to somehow salvage some shred of a positive legacy in the history books.

I think this article is final proof that neo-conservativism is dead, dead, dead.

Josh,

So I take it I can put you under the group "too little, too late," right?

Neo-conservativism dead?  Maybe falling in and out of consciousness.

If so, then someone quick pull the plug before they find another way to waste my tax dollars.
