"stuff happens"

Amanda Dominguez

I would like to end my last blog post with a little bit of domestic politics, that has, unfortunately taken a toll on the global communities perspective on the competence of our leaders. Former vice-president Chaney, in a recent interview, ad much to say about the old administration, and the new ones change in policy. As usual, Chaney was not shy about the excuses he mad about the failures of the administration he had but so much faith into. He is still living in a bubble and is delivering the same explanations behind their motives to go to war and blatant disregard for human rights and international law. He talked about Guantanamo Bay, and, of course, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. My favorite quote was when he made the general statement saying,
"All of these things(Wars, Hurricane Katrina etc...) required us to spend money that we had not originally planned to spend, or weren't originally part of the budget," Cheney said. "Stuff happens. And the administration has to be able to respond to that, and we did."

Yeah, Chaney, stuff happens, and now because of this "stuff" and the brilliant way the Bush administration handled it, were in an economic recession and the U.S is a disappointment to the international community. Thanks for keeping America safe and while doing so, running it into the ground.
