First, the war in Iraq. Then, Katrina. Now, Walter Reed.
There you have it, the legacy of George W. Bush: sheer, utter incompetence.
Congress opens hearings today on the shameful squalor outpatients were forced to live in at Walter Reed. Here are the questions they should ask:
1. How could the administration ignore — for three years! — complaints from so many patients and veterans’ organizations about conditions at Walter Reed?
2. Why did it take two weeks after the Washington Post broke the story for the Pentagon to react?
3. When IT finally did, why’d the Pentagon re-appoint, as head of Walter Reed, the guy who’d been in charge for the last three years — and deny it was any big deal?
4. And why did two weeks go by before the commander in chief even acknowledge there was a problem at Walter Reed? Was he asleep at the switch again?
George W. Bush. Four years later, he still ignores the failure on the ground in Iraq.
George W. Bush. For over a week, he ignored the suffering on the ground in New Orleans.
George W. Bush. For three years, he and his administration ignored the inhuman living conditions at Walter Reed.
George W. Bush. Soon to go down in history as one of our most incompetent presidents ever.
