Bush: A Staggering Level of Failure, Incompetence, and Corruption

The Center for Public Integrity has published a comprehensive list of the Bush Administration's failures over the past eight years. You should read the whole thing, but to me, this section stood out:

MILITARY

False Premise for Going to War
Abu Ghraib Prison Scandal
Mismanagement at National Reconnaissance Office
Poor Health Care for Veterans
Failure To Regulate Security Contractors
Pentagon Office’s Misleading Intelligence
Military Failure To Secure Iraq After Invasion
Lack of Armored Protection for Troops
Pentagon’s Slow Adaptation to a War-footing
Inadequate Planning for Post-Invasion Iraq
Failure To Secure Weapons in Iraq
Mismanagement of Major Weapons Acquisitions
Veteran Disability Claims Languish
Delay in Opening U.S. Embassy in Iraq
Air Force Failure To Maintain Nuclear Weapons Accountability
Taliban Resurgence in Afghanistan
190,000 Missing Weapons in Iraq.

By the way, may I add that TENS OF BILLIONS of dollars allocated for Iraq's rebuilding have simply been STOLEN by Bush-Cheney cronies. This is the consequence of putting criminals in charge of the U.S. government through a right-wing coup d'etat (the 2000 election steal).

In the original, there are detailed links to EVERY item. I am hesitant to go through them all. I don't know if I could take being that angry and that disgusted.

Good riddance to the worst president in American history.
