Failure is Not an Option! It Comes Standard with Every Bush Model!
by Larry Beinhart

Failure is not an option. It’s standard! On every policy we make!

Name a policy, and it’s got failure! Guaranteed! Or your government back!

War in Iraq?

Failure, built in from day one! Go to war based on lies, go to war in a way that’s technically a war crime, that’s got failure, built in!

To make certain that it had failure, we went in without enough people do to the job!

And without a plan!

Post war (the Occupation or the continuing war or whatever you want to call it)?

We started with delusions about how the Iraqis would respond. Delusions are one of the firmest foundations for failure.

To make sure those delusions stayed in place until failure had really taken hold, we had the all the programs runs by incompetent cronies, anti-abortion activists, Republican contributors and assorted dingbats. And it worked! The occupation authority blew through more money than anyone can count – and nobody did count it, then or now, we’ve made sure of that - and achieved failure in everything they did! And nothing but failure!

To draw attention to that failure, we gave out the highest medals you can to the people who achieved it! That’s failure.

Hurricane in the Gulf?

We put ‘Good job’ Brownie in charge of FEMA. We staffed it with more cronies.

Nero could fiddle while Rome burned. That’s nothin’. ......(more)

1. True

Like an automatic transmission these days.

2. And as might be expected, every Bush Model comes without instructions on

how to operate. So, you never really know what to expect, or what it's SUPPOSED to do.

And, of course, it goes without saying: THERE IS NO WARRANTY OR DECLARATION OF FITNESS!

8. Unfortunately, instructions are reality-based

They are only an option.

Like electric motors.

3. Actually, there ARE instructions,

but they are all in Chinese

4. Failure is a standard feature, but still is still very expensive.

6. Swear to God! K and R.

Good editorial.

5. gets a vote just for title. Can we pay a guy to march around White House with sign that says that?

7. Great essay K&R

read to the end for the comments on framing

9. "Or your government back!" Great, that's exactly what I want. nt
