"Bushisms" that will haunt him historically:



........The Iraq war, of course, has become Bush's albatross. He and his buddies are great at coining words or slogans. "Bushisms" that will haunt him historically:

• "Shock and Awe," early 2003.

• "Mission Accomplished," May 1, 2003.

• "Stay the Course," June 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006.

• "New Strategy," 2007.

Another term historians may weigh critically is "Decider."

Is he just a self-touted decider doing what he thinks right? Or is he an arrogant ruler who doesn't care or consider what the public or Congress believes best for the country?

Despite his play on words and slogans, Bush didn't learn the value or meaning of mea culpa (acknowledgement of an error) during his years at Yale........

3. "Bring 'em on."
That one has to rank among the very worst of the worst.

5. If I'm not mistaken, "Shock and Awe" came out of the Pentagon.
They should have stuck with the original: "Blitzkrieg".

Hitler would have been so proud.
