The Evil George W. Bush

Mick at Uncorrelated has an interesting observation about the president:

I am reminded that if George W. Bush really were the tyrant that the various left-wing demagogues have made him out to be, he would have acted like a Democrat as it concerned the war on terror--meaning that he would have insured that various terror attacks occurred on a regular basis--like a low-grade infection, to keep people in a continuous state of fear. By actually solving the problem, he put himself and the Republican party out of a job. That is just bad bureaucracy, which exists to perpetuate the problems that justify their existence.

I agree wholeheartedly. Furthermore, if Bush were so dishonest as the left claim, he could have instructed the CIA or the military special forces to stash some poison gas or some uranium somewhere in Iraq after we conquered the country. And then announced with great fanfare "Look what we found!"

But he didn't do that. Bush has admitted that no weapons of mass destruction have been found. Thus subjecting himself to endless criticism from the left using bromides like "Bush Lied, People Died".
