Films that portray any sitting politician as a posturing, cynical buffoon are well worth making -- and watching. George Bush should not be immune just because he's ginned up a badly planned and counterproductive war.

1) Apparently, ANY sitting politician is automatically a buffoon? Or, even if not, ought to be shown as a buffoon? What kind of stupid statement is that?

2) The war was badly planned? We gained control of Afghanistan is a matter of weeks. The Left had said it couldn't be done. Then we gained control of Iraq in a matter of weeks. The Left said it would be a bloodbath. We lost a few hundred soldiers. Badly Planned? What war are we talking about?

3) Counterproductive? Afghanistan is no longer a threat. Iraq is no longer a threat. And, oh yeah, just as a bonus, Libya is no longer a threat. No terrorist attack in the US since we started fighting back, either. Counterproductive? What kind of stupid statement is that?

It may help to know that Vin is a libertarian.

The author totally ruined an otherwise balanced article with the obligatory ad-homenim Bush-bashing.

The thing that gets me is the Bush in the classroom thing. What the hell was Bush supposed to do? Run around the class screaming at the top of his lungs about how we're going to kill the evildoers in front of children? C'mon. Then these same liberals would've said Bush panicked and the NY Times headline would've read "Bush scares the bejesus out of the children (minorities affected most)".

I've seen the look on Bush's face after he was told of 9/11...the look in his eyes could've melted stainless steel.
