These particular words of wisdom should be directed to President George W. Bush. Democratic Senator Hillary Clinton has already made some suggestions (My Way News):
Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday that President Bush should withdraw all U.S. troops from Iraq before he leaves office, asserting it would be "the height of irresponsibility" to pass the war along to the next commander in chief.
"This was his decision to go to war with an ill-conceived plan and an incompetently executed strategy," the Democratic senator from New York said her in initial presidential campaign swing through Iowa.
"We expect him to extricate our country from this before he leaves office" in January 2009, the former first lady said.....
Just as a teacher would tell a student, clean up after completing an assignment or a project, the President should clean up his mess in Iraq. Every parent reminds their child to clean up his/her mess, and the President should also tidy up his war in Iraq. Bush sent the troops, and he should bring them home. Bush and his administration lied us into war and they must get us out of it.
I hope that President Bush takes Senator Clinton's advice. However, I doubt that he will follow it. Bush grew up in a wealthy family and he is accustomed to having other people clean up his dishes, rooms, and other messes. When he has gotten into legal trouble before, his father's friends and lawyers were able to save his behind. This President has never been able to take responsibility for his actions, and, unfortunately, he won't start now. We can wish and hope for an end to this war, but we must be realistic. The next President will have to deal with the war in Iraq and the financial, physical, emotional, and diplomatic fallout. Bush won't end the war if he has a chance to dump it into someone else's lap.
