Today in Bush History, 1/14 ...
Scientists & Military Brass Explain Harm Caused by Bush Policies
 
In the news on this date: Scientists talk of the harm caused by Bush appointees who "fabricate" science to the benefit of industry and harm of the environment (2008). 
 
Also in 2008, the military brass talks of US harm caused by Bush's Gitmo policies. Admiral Mike Mullen: "I'd like to see it shut down ... it's been pretty damaging".
 
And a Bushism.
 
More details, from the 2009 Bush Blunder Calendar ...

Thanks. We need to know history so we don't repeat mistakes, even if it is recent history, as here.

I agree James. Thanks for taking the time to say that. In addition, while Bush history might end on January 20th, the impact of Bush history on the nation and the world will linger long beyond that date.

James but unfortunatly history repeats itself over and over...the US history is dotted with these so called we should learn from history...but I have yet to see a president fully come out and admit the history repeats itself when we don't take time to learn from previous mistakes and goofs...

We will never reach perfection, but some administrations come closer to it than others (that's for sure).
