The Daily Show: The Bush Years- The Iraq War

Although Jon Stewart is a satirical "news" reporter, he does a great job of pointing out the hypocrisy and stupidity in pop culture and politics. The Iraq War video seems to be a  compilation of George W. Bush's bloopers, contradictions, and overall lack of intelligence while he served as president. Even though many presidents have said things they didn't mean or made mistakes, George W. Bush and his presidential campaign was by far the most uncertain and unpredictable that Americans have ever seen. Bush flip flopped on more issues than any president/presidental candidate I have seen in my life. The Iraq War and lives lost by civilians and soldiers should not be a candid topic, but one treated with the upmost importance and respect, which George W. Bush did not seem to have while discussing the topic. I believe that history will not look kindly on George W. Bush, from his foreign policy to his domestic policy, he has only helped contribute to the distrust in government that many people have today.
