Letter: Five years of Bush leaves us where?

Sunday, Dec. 4, 2005 | 8:34 a.m.

I find it interesting that in President Bush's recent address to the military, he said 40 Iraqi battalions were battle-ready, while the news media and others in Iraq say it is only one. The recent reports from Basra are alarming.

If the reports are to be believed, Basra looks like a satellite extension of Iran. I fear Bush is both overwhelmed and delusional. Five years now and where are we? Let me see -- Iraq war, Social Security revision, terrorism, porous borders, Medicare funding, income tax reform, Katrina, huge budget and trade deficits, energy shortage and still no solutions in sight. No wonder his own party is beginning to panic.

Yes, I know, the economy is wonderful, at least until all the free foreign money dries up and consumers stop using their homes like ATMs.
