Washington up to today, has left a unique legacy. What

will George W. Bushs legacy be?



13/14

The war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, the response to

9/11, the lack of response to Katrina, the absence of

weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, or the economic

downturn the US took towards the end of his second

term

Or will we more likely remember things like landing on

an aircraft carrier, mispronouncing nuclear, his shame

on me botchery, or his deep concern OB-GYN love?

Whichever is the case, lets conclude with some of

Georges words of wisdom

Anybody who is in a position to

serve this country ought to under-stand the consequences of words.
