The Bush administration is good at pulling shit and then covering it up. And for those of you who keep replying with "TOO LONG DIDN'T READ", no one cares if you read it or not.

All administrations have done that. It's not just Bush. Bush just happens to be the current president who is being called on it.


That's true but like superflyingengi said, Billions of dollars is not routine. I know all administraions have done that but the Bush administration has a habbit of doing it. If they did it like every other administration then they wouldn't be called on it. You can't just ignore the fact that they did this either. If you let a criminal get off the hook after killing someone what's there to stop them from doing it again? Nothing. The next time Bush needs to fund something quick he can just do this again.


So you agree that all administrations have done it. Then why are you applying all these claims to the Bush administration? Why not apply it to the presidency in general?

-"The Bush administration has a habit of doing it." It would be more accurate and helpful to say "the presidency has a habit of doing it."

-"If you let a criminal get off the hook...what's there to stop them from doing it again?" Well, we've apparently already had previous administrations stealing, so either no one has caught them ever and we're going to arbitrarily start with Bush or we have caught them and it hasn't done any good either way. Maybe you should think of reforms to the office itself instead of penalizing someone who holds it once...

-"If they did it like every other administration then they wouldn't be called on it." So are you suggesting that it's fine/normal for them to steal, as long as they don't get caught and we should only punish Bush because he wasn't careful enough to avoid getting caught?

This is all assuming that there was actual wrongdoing that went on at all. If it is determined that there was none, then the whole thread is moot.
