Bush Addresses College Grads

Here's a news flash that sets my hair on fire. Dubya urged the grads at Furman University to 'Be responsible and accountable to both themselves and the nation."


He needs to explain how his administration was being responsible and accountable when he took us to war on false pretenses, resulting in over 4,000 American soldiers being killed or sending them to Iraq with sub-standard equipment? Is it being responsible when everytime a new bill is passed by Congress he writes a "signing paper" saying he reserves the right to ignore it? Was he being accountable when his Vice President and his aids, Karl Rove and Scooter Libbey outed a secret agent for political reasons saying that whom ever was involved would be sumarily fired, then raising the bar to "whom ever was indighted"? Was it being responsible to put incompetents in charge of FEMA and largely ignore the people of New Orleans, or by putting them in trailers that make them sick. Is it being responsible largely ignoring our dependency on foreign oil and not developing an energy policy that would alieviate the problem. Was it respsonsible ignoring global warming and not signing the Kyoto treaty. How about not joining the ban on cluster bombs or land mines that kill many civilians in many countries every day.


Please, Mr. President, don't lecture us or our graduates on being responsible or accountable.
