Herb,
Your problem is that even though you might read, you don't understand nor  
can you comprehend the message. I'm done. Back to work so I can pay for my $3.00 
 per gallon Bush gasoline.

As  always, you dodge the debate by referencing an obviously biased 
article. I  only had to read the first paragraph to understand exactly 
what it  was:

When we look back someday at the catastrophe that was the Bush  
administration, we will think of many things: the tragedy of the Iraq  
war, the shame of Guantánamo and Abu Ghraib, the erosion of civil  
liberties. The damage done to the American economy does not make  
front-page headlines every day, but the repercussions will be felt  
beyond the lifetime of anyone reading this page.

The problems with  that paragraph are:

The question as to whether or not the Bush  administration was a 
"catastrophe" is definitely open to debate. The  person writing is 
expressing an opinion, not fact.

The question of  wether or not the Iraq war was a "tragedy" that was 
caused by the Bush  administration is open to debate, again expressing an 
opinion, not fact.  (The FACT is that the war was authorized by congress, 
and the result of  many violations of a cease-fire agreement, and 
agreement that was  structured during the previous Bush admninistration, 
and violated numerous  times during the Clinton administration, but hey, 
let's not let facts get  in the way of a good Bush-bashing).

The "shame" of Guantanamo is that  so many leftists have made it out to 
be something worse than it  its.

The "shame" of Abu Gharib was NOT the result of "the Bush  
administration", that's hyperbole.

Like I said, the first paragraph  makes it pretty clear that the rest of 
the article is going to be more of  the same.

So Rummy, you jumped into this one, if you don't want to  play, don't 
jump. I was serious, apparantly you were  not.
