Bush’s moral cowardice in a nutshell
Joshua Micah Marshall of Talking Points Memo, on the moral cowardice of the president. In a nutshell:
The same sort of moral cowardice that led him to support the Vietnam war but decide it wasn’t for him, run companies into the ground and let others pay the bill, play gutter politics but run for the hills when someone asks him to say it to their face, those are the same qualities that led the president to lie the country into war, fail to prepare for the aftermath and then refuse to take responsibility for any of it when the bill started to come due.
That’s got to be the best single-sentence criticism I’ve ever read. The rest of the Marshall’s post isn’t bad either.
