What Bush Got Right

Let's see...Fareed is basically saying that the spoiled brat who barely stole the car eight years ago and proceeded to have one total wreck each year has FINALLY figured out how to drive...that's progress. OK Fareed, tell us please "what is the kid's parents paying for the insurance policy?" We get the keys back and the bill arrives at our doorstep while the brat leaves scot free...the USA...what a country!

I am pleased to see some cool-headed individuals sticking up for this dismally unpopular President. For the record, I have no problem with people criticizing President Bush, even though I personally like him, so long as their criticism is LEGITAMITE and RESPECTFUL. By the way. . .why bring up Doug Feith???s Jewish Faith? It always strikes me as pathetic how the left - the people who are supposed to value "inclusion", "tolerance" and "diversity" - can be so anti-Semitic sometimes (and you WOnder why Joe Lieberman endorsed McCain). DID YOU KNOW that Feith???s grandfather lost his parents and SEVEN OF HIS SIBLINGS in the Holocaust (the brainchild of a left-wing radical dictator)? My source on that, F.Y.I., was not some ???right-wing Zionist??? blog but MAUREEN DOWD, the bitchy, liberal New York Times columnist. Furthermore, we are definitely NOT less safe than we were 7 years ago ... Notice that we???ve not had a terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11, whereas under Clinton we had the World Trade Center bombing, the Oklahoma City bombing, attacks on U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. . .not to mention the attacks on U.S. troops in Mogadishu, bombing of the Khobar Towers and the U.S.S. Cole. If you think you can handle more truth, then read my posting below (Posted @ 08/11/2008 2:21:37 PM).

Did you guys make W reminsicent of Colonel Sanders in this cover shot on purpose? Hilarious. And, sadly, fitting.

Things may might not be great now, but wait until a young inexpericiend obama takes office. Good luck U.S.A

Th e bottom-line of George Bush's two terms, which your article fails to mention, is that correcting some of his first-term errors does not erase the long-term consequences of those errors.

It would have been easier to put a blank page under the heading "What Bush got Right". This man is now a war criminal in the world and there was nothing positive that he did during the last 7 years. No defense from Newsweek needed- you can't change the outcome of Bush's administration and the next president can use it as an example of what not to do as well as to reverse the damage.

Faredd: You have got to let me know what strain of weed you are smoking.

The surge did not quell violence in Iraq. The death squads of the Shia armed by America commiting genocide has run most of the Sunnis out of the country if they were not murdered.

The genocide was complete when the surge started. .

i love newsweek...i HATE this cover !! Sad to say that his face nauseates me and the sooner it is gone, the better...thousands of our young men and women killed and maimed for no good reason and the loss of respect for our wonderful country worldwide...shame on you for using his face for your cover

The cover was great, but should have " see centerfold", then you should have left in blank, nothing right !
November can't come soon enought !!!

???Baron M.A. Rothschild wrote, "Give me control over a nation's currency and I care not who
makes its laws." All that is needed to effectively control a government is to have control over the
nation's money: a central bank with a monopoly over the supply of money and credit. This had
been done in Western Europe, with the creation of privately owned central banks such as the
Bank of England. Georgetown professor Dr. Carroll Quigley (Bill Clinton's mentor while at
Georgetown) wrote about the goals of the investment bankers who control central banks: "...
nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate
the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole... controlled in a
feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived
at in frequent private meetings and conferences."

Thomas Jefferson wrote: "The Central Bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing
against the principles and form of our Constitution...if the American people allow private banks to
control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and
corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their
children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

The U.S. managed to do without a central bank until early in this century, when, according to
Congressman Charles Lindbergh, Sr., "The Money Trust caused the 1907 panic, and thereby
forced Congress to create a National Monetary Commission." Headed by Senator Nelson
Aldrich, father-in-law of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., the Commission recommended creation of a
central bank.


Though unconstitutional, as only "The Congress shall have Power...To coin Money, regulate the
Value thereof..." (Article I, Section 8, U.S. Constitution) the Federal Reserve Act was passed in
December 1913; ostensibly to stabilize the economy and prevent further panics, but as Lindberg
warned Congress: "This act establishes the most gigantic trust on earth...the invisible government
by the money power, proven to exist by the Money Trust investigation, will be legalized." The
Great Depression and numerous recessions later, it is obvious the Federal Reserve produces
inflation and federal debt whenever it desires, but not stability.

good article...disgusting cover !
cannot stand to see the face of the person who has, along with his vp, has destroyed the worldwide respect for our country and murdered and maimed so many of our precious young men and women.
