Andrew Sullivan Sees the Light

Andrew Sullivan, a conservative pundit, finally sees our president for what and who he really is. Why the hell did it take so long?

In the last few years, I have gone from lionizing this president's courage and fortitude to being dismayed at his incompetence and now to being resigned to mistrusting every word he speaks. I have never hated him. But now I can see, at least, that he is a liar on some of the gravest issues before the country. He doesn't trust us with the truth.

Courage??? Give me a break. GW Bush would run crying to his mean mother if he ever came face to face with danger. Fortitude? That strength or firmness of mind which enables a person to encounter danger with coolness and courage? Firmness of his mind isn't something that immediately comes to my mind when someone brings up GW Bush. There were many, many people crying out warnings at the time that GW was lying. But EVERYONE knew there were weapons of mass destruction. So what did we end up with because of King George's adventures in Iraq. North Korea lighting off missiles and purifying uranium; Iran insisting on becoming a nuclear power and now happy that they have a Shiite partner in Iraq; Afghanistan being retaken by the Taliban; 300 billion dollars and counting in war costs; no congressional oversight; torture; tossing out Geneva Convention; threatening to kill children; Worldwide distrust, even hatred of the US; and lets not even talk about losing an entire US city. But he has 'Partners' in the War on Terror such as Saudi Arabi, Egypt and Pakistan. A monkey rolling dice to make decisions could do better than GW Bush.
