U.S. History, Chapter 17: The Presidency of George W. Bush (History Talk Post)

12675 says...

Pre-9/11- did not do his homework, and take urgent pleas seriously. he could have done a bit more it may hve helped
On 9/11- did not act like a leader. Was confused, shell shocked in a classroom, instead of immediately addressing etc. Popped up at different locations with poorly written speeches.
Post 9/11- did not listen to advice of both consvervative and liberal legal advice as to how to handle dealing with Al Qaeda in an effective manner.
Was totally over run by the V.P. and Neo-conseravative ideologues that saw 9/11 as their ideal laboratory to test their ideas of Democracy through force- eventually invade Iraq in order to spread democracy

Post9/11- Squandered the compassion of a very sympathetic world, spat in their face and said we will do things OUR way. Probably his biggest mistake of all- a war on terror would require the collective ideas of all of our close allies. Therefore "go it alone" was just plain stupid and impulsive.

He ended up with the following allies: Britain (but not the people), Vanuatu, Georgia, Romania, Poland.... hmmm
Completely bungled capturing the highest value Al Qaeda cadres, took recources away, and shifted focus on Iraq
Went to Iraq, despite overwelming intelligence pointing out that this would be a very very risky move.
Went anyway, and had no preparations for post-war, or marshall law, or counterinsurgency. Surge FINALLY was adopted, but after country was ruined by civil war. He was advised over and over to go with 3-400,000 troops.
Again, he could not assert himself and Rumsfeld walked all over him.

Fieth, Woo, Cheney and other sinister characters appealed to Bush's cruel (134 deathpen cases in Texas) side in order to extract information. Instead of listening to those with years of interrogation experience he prefered to "take the gloves off" too prove a point instead of winning a war of ideologies. Because of Torture, Extraordinary Rendition, and the imprisonment of 1000s of innocent villagers subjected to the worst aspects of American culture- heavy metal, sleazy sex, humiliation- America lost its moral compass in the eyes of other countries. This is the America that organized and held together the Nuremburg Trials. Nazis, accused of far worse crimes than blowing up planes - such as the death of 30,million plus civilians, cutting out peices of brains of twins to see what would happen, forcing sex changes to see what would happen, gassing Jews as a Final Solution etc. One of the greatest defeats, and battles won during WWII was the right of the accused war criminals to face their accusers. Somehow we find that a motley group of somewhat half assed Arab terrorists merit far greater measures???WTF?

So, with no clout, no economic or energy visions, no moral authority, no authority whatsoever -here is what the next president will have to fix:

Dealing with a now Powerful Russia. Powerful Iran. American ridiculed by such people as (and this is embarrassing) President Chavez.... Basically, no one had any respect for him. Putin took him for a ride ("I saw his soul") KGB agents dont have souls...

People may not have liked Truman, or Lincoln, or Nixon for that matter, but they all had at least some degree of respect- even Nixon. Despite Watergate, many admire Nixon despite his being a bit crazy. Bush has none. No Respect, not a good prospect for historical significance.

"You're Peeing on My Leg" [Whitest Kids U Know]

reed says...

Wait a minute, this "Whitest kids U know" thing is on actual television? I thought it was just, you know, some kids making idiotic poorly written and poorly acted comedy videos and putting them on youtube...

It was poorly written to the point of being abysmal. Nobody with any taste in film at all could sit through the first half of that movie and not start glancing at their watch wondering when it was going to end.

The animation was very good, true. But the damn thing seemed like it was never going to end.

I was literally on the edge of my chair laughing my ass off.

Thank you for making my day

And having been an ESL student myself (I'm Korean, what a coincidence! Say 'Ahnn-Nyung' to your student for me ), I read your comment with great interest.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your stories

In reply to this comment by messenger:
I teach ESL, and this essay isn't funny. However, this story, which a little Korean girl turned into me when I was her teacher, is quite funny, and this one, written by another little Korean girl about her teacher who likes Coca-Cola, is even funnier.

Now on the to the tragic stuff.

If English isn't your first language, to get into an English-speaking university, you need to pass an English proficiency test, like TOEFL or IELS. What this video really mocks is not this student, but these tests. They don't actually establish how well you can communicate in English. They only test how well trained you are to write that particular test. For instance, students can search for patterns in spelling so they can deduce the right answer without even knowing why it's correct. There are intensive courses designed to train students in these simple tricks without improving their English skills at all. Most ESL students take a course like this before attempting the test. That's obviously how this student got through.

Don't blame the student for being accepted, trying hard, submitting drafts to be corrected, and doing the honest thing by not paying a native speaker to rewrite the essay, which is how most people in this situation get through. This student did everything right, and does not deserve to be mocked. It's tragic he/she wasted all that time and money because the entrance qualifications weren't well-designed enough. What's worse is that the instructor permitted this student's essay to be scanned and distributed for ridicule.

Dude's being a jerk, but he makes a good point. Could you add something about "English as a Second Language" in the tags or description?

In reply to this comment by flyingkitty67:
I just have to point out that no where in the title or the discription does it say that the writer of this does not speak english. In fact I had assumed it was just some one who had waited till 4am the day of to write their assignment.

You know what I think this may be the one case where the french may be right! Now I know the world is coming to an end!

President of Venezuela Calls George W Bush a Donkey

daphne says...

Awww...I should have been more clear with my satirical comment...I meant that Bush's administration will invade Canada. Not that I'm trying to yank the prize or anything ...I just wanted to clarify my poorly written joke.
