What is the biggest single failure of the Bush administration? What can we do about it?

oh man!  the Bush misadministration has been a complete and utter failure on so many levels and with so many things its truly impossible to chose the single biggest one.\n\nwould it be ... the stealing of the 2000 election?\n\nwould it be ... ignoring warnings of Osama planning to attack the USA?\n\nwould it be ... the war and occupation of Iraq?\n\nwould it be ... using the Constitution as toilet paper?\n\nwould it be ... Katrina?\n\nwould it be ... the loss of our national reputation around the world?\n\nwould it be ... undermining the Geneva Conventions and making torture and indefinite imprisonment without charge or council legal?\n\nwould it be ... doing away with Habeous Corpus?\n\nwould it be ... GW signing himself to be above the law of the land?\n\nwould it be ... posting detailed instructions for building a nuke bomb on a government website?\n\nwould it be ... allowing the outing of a CIA operative to go unpunished?\n\nwould it be ... giving his "have and have more" base huge tax cuts while cutting funding for veterans, social programs and emergency first responders?\n\nwould it be ... failing to secure our borders, ports, nuke and chemical plants?\n\nwould it be ... putting our country TRILLIONS of dollars in debt, mostly to communist China?\n\nwhew!  sorry.  i can't pick just one.\n\nas to what we can do about it.  well, vote Democrat in the hopes that some checks and balances are restored.  but of course the first hope would be that your vote is even counted towards the candidate you voted for.  failing that ... prepare for revolution.

Sure.  We need someone to blame for the incompetence of the Bush administration.

Sun Tzu said in "The Art of War" in 500 BC that engaging in a protracted campaign on foreign soil would eventually lead to failure.  I think that the problem has been a lack of planning and a lack of definition regarding our strategic goals.  I think that we entered this conflict for the wrong reasons, without a plan, and without measurable goals. Then, we tried to create a plan and strategic objectives on the fly. This is a national embarrassment of monumental proportions, and an act that will change the course of history against the United States. I only hope that somthing can be salvaged from this debacle, but it will take a level of cooperation and compromise that seems unlikely until bush leaves office.

Hands down it is Bush.\n\nThe most incompetent of all time, secretive, anti democratic etc.  Not to mention the fact he has done nothing positive for the average american in all his years!

Ever since Reagan got elected and it's all his fault.\n\nOr Bush's.\n\nOr the other Bush's

I do not approve of much the Bush Administration has perpetrated in its five years of existence, but I think it's entirely appropriate to compare present administrations to recent past ones.  Anyway, the Clinton Administration did far more good than bad, so the Bush Administration comes up short anyway.

There are a great number of ways that the Bush Administration could mishandle the Iraq conflict even more. Here are just a few:\n*Declare war on Iran as well\n*Use Nuclear weapons (tactical or otherwise)\n*Use chemical weapons\n*Remove all troops imediately without training the Iraqis first\n*Get Israels help in Iraq\n*Inflame the Sunni/Shia divide even more\n*impose some form of govt that will not work (like a traditional democratic govt)\n*Refuse to accept advice from people with half a clue of what is going on.\n\nThere are just a few of the many ways that this situation could get worse, now lets just hope that it doesn't...

It's monumental.The rest of the world is down on us right now and the only way we're going to get out of the trenches is to have someone with charisma and an actual plan to set us in the right direction.We have so many problems on so many levels it's staggering.Bush and Cheney come off as arrogant stuffed shirts to most people and the poll numbers speak for themselves.Chaos abounds in this regime.The war,the borders,the economy,deficit,Katrina disaster,poverty,healthcare,etc.,is a direct result of an administration who is completely out of touch with the people and what they need.Our next president has a daunting task in front of him/her.Our nation needs a jump start with fresh ideas and a compassionate and passionate president.

Well, Iraq has been the focus of his entire presidency -so they kind of go hand in hand. But I suppose if I had to separate them, I would say Iraq is the bigger disaster simply because it is not just a personal failure on his part; many people have paid or are paying for it.

George W Bush....look at the current situations, he has caused the most damage, the most money to be spent and the most laws broken by any president in history.

Bush is the worst President we have ever had and frankly probably the worst we WILL ever have. How could anyone possibly be worse?

See, that's what I'm saying.  Clinton was nearly impeached for getting head, and Bush has done so so so much worse.  I wish he could get impeached.  We should find out how to get it started!

OBVIOUSLY, it's all clinton's fault. Bush couldn't POSSIBLY have fvcked anything up THIS bad, right? He's GAWD'S president, remember?

He fielded the worst Administration in American history, causing a breakdown of our military, the destabilization of the Middle East, the mishandling of Hurricane Katrina, and wasted America's treasury faster than any president in history.\nThat's what happens when Charlie Brown gets into the White House.

Bush had nothing to do with it. FEMA has its own regulations for declaring emergencies and they determined that the damage was not severe enough to warrant federal aid. The state should be able to handle it.
