PREDICTION: BUSH IS , TO USE A NALDO WORD, 'TOAST'

[Buffalo Tom]

I've been thinking lately about the presidents the United States has had in the last 50 years, and I've come to the conclusion that the last good Republican president was Dwight D. Eisenhower. Putting aside the fact that he put America on the road to nuclear armament, I get the impression from what I've read that Eisenhower shouldered the responsibilities of leadership with the right degree of solemnity and dignity that his successors did not have. When he gave the order to launch Operation Overlord, he did not shirk away from the terrible consquences of his decision and prepared a written statement in which he accepted full responsibility for the decision, in the event the invasion at Normandy failed.

An early review of 'Farenheit 9/11' describes scenes in which Bush makes faces at the camera just before his speech on the night America invaded Iraq. At the very least, Americans should question the light-hearted, almost cavalier, attitude that he displays. Is this the type of leader they want making decisions which could kill their sons and daughters?
