Is George Bush a Failed Commander and Chief?






In answering questions about 370 tons of missing high explosives, of the type that a half pound could down a jumbo jet, and which in greater quanities could trigger a nuclear bomb, White House spokesman, Scott McClellan, alternately insisted that Mr. Bush "wants to make sure that we get to the bottom of this" and tried to distance the president from knowledge of the issue. McClellan said Mr. Bush was informed of the disappearance only within the last 10 days. White House officials said they could not explain why warnings from the international agency in May 2003 about the stockpile's vulnerability to looting never resulted in action.


How can anyone distance the Commander and Chief of the United States army from the failure to secure 370 tons of High explosives that the Joint Command of the Iraqi war was informed by the International Atomic Energy association, had to be secured at the beginning of the war

.The prime reason--the American People and world was told-- that the US was going to war was to keep weapons of mass destruction out of the hands of terrorist. Now for all we know portions of the missing explosives are in the hands of Osama Bin Laden, portions kept in Iraq to fight our armed forces, and portions in Syria and Iran to be distributed world wide to terrorist groups .This may be the tragic mistake, which makes the Iraqi action impossible to win, and leads that country further down the road towards civil war. How can the Bush team say we have been made safer under his guard?

But the danger is not only being faced by our troops, Bush's blunder has endangered our country to a point that may makes 9/11 look like just a beginning skirmish. And it has endangered innocent civilians the world over for perhaps a couple of generations when we are talking about such a gigantic amount of high explosives.

George W. Bush a proven incompetent Commander and Chief has not only destabilized the Middle East with his criminal negligence, and incompetence he has endangered every country that fundamentalist terrorist see as their enemy.

To make an excuse that the President only heard about it in October of this year, is a greater condemnation of George W. Bush as Commander and Chief. Now there is no one in his or her right mind that can call the United States current President "a hands on Commander and Chief;" for if you listen to him and his staff he is not responsible for anything, except to announce that under his guard we have turned the corner in Iraq. What corner the corner to massive tragedy.

Certainly securing 370 lbs of mass explosives that could go into making nuclear devices, should have been on a competent Commander and Chief's check list from the very beginning of the war…
