Has the current presidential administration doomed our future?

Yes, and perhaps the US stored its nukes in the USSR for "safe keeping" during the cold war.

Iraq actually did store its warplanes in Iran during the war for Kuwait IIRC. Iran never gave them back

Where the heck do you live
There's been:
(1) No overcrowding of hospitals?
(2) No overcrowding of schools?
(3) Tuitions at public colleges haven't gone up decreasing the number of educated people to power the economy in your old age?
(4) Freeways and roads haven't deteriorated?
(5) Police and firefighters aren't short handed?
Simply amazing!

Come to think of it, my scholarships were cut repeatedly for budget reasons... but there are so much bigger things to dislike Bush for.

Even more of a reason why they wouldn't store WMDs - they should have learned their lesson.

If it had not been proven impossible I would argue right now that Iraq has WMDs somewhere. Perhaps they are actually in Iran. I mean, he used them before. Aside from WMD, it's hard to think of anything you could be talking about. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out!

Niiiiiiiice.

Let's ignore the fact that, say, the administration has continually stonewalled/lied/denied to the press anything but their side of the story in:

-global warming
-the political situation in Iraq divorced from WMD
-gitmo
-CIA black sites
-Valerie Plame
-Abu Ghraib
-NSA wire tapping

...among other things.

Don't let reality with its well-known liberal bias get in the way of truthiness.

Am I the only one who thought the OP was setting up a punchline?

Has any major politician in American history in a position of power managed to mess up enormously, and continue to act without caring about the response of anyone, by essentially ignoring all criticism, or flat our lying in response?

Has ANYONE tried this before?

Truman: Korea
Kennedy: Bay of Pigs
Johnson: Vietnam
Nixon: Watergate
Ford: Inflation
Carter: The Economy
Clinton: Sex Harrassment and affairs
Bush: Post-invasion dismissal of the Iraqi Army

What's going on now is not new to US presidents.

Ehrm, didn't you forgot Roosevelt and WWII ????

[Kuciwalker]

Most consider that a US victory...

Quite right, but there are also those who thinks that it was Roosevelt that lured US into WWII

In 2050 when they write the history of why the U.S. collapsed, they will start with the vote fraud and coup d'etat in 2000 leading to the worst presidency in our history. Subsequent adminisitrations were unable to fix the problem, and eventually America collapsed under mounting debt.

Christ, what a bunch of melodramatic whiners...

Che, Bush's "problems" are

1) massive recession after the Clinton boom, caused by the Clinton surplus;

2) an intelligence/FBI failure that allowed 9/11;

3) an intelligence failure about Iraqi WMD; and

4) dismissing the Iraqi Army/not using enough US troops in Iraq.

Of these, three were caused by Clinton or Clinton appointees. Only the fourth one is Bush's sole responsibility.

Bush is not going to go down as the worst president in History. That view is held only by the left who will never admit that Bush could do anything right or that Clinton could do anything wrong.
