King Bush the Idiot informs his subjects what Russia informed us a decade ago—you will waste a lot of resources and lives fighting to change tribal Afghanistan. "We're going to increase troops [in Afghanistan] by 2009,--King Bush the Idiot--"

Unfortunately, it has become trite to quote and then ignore George Santayana's prescience:

"Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it."¹--George Santayana--

Knowing that King Bush the Idiot does not read maybe his chief of staff can arrange a tour of the recently remodeled United States National Archives, where his pathetic presidency will be stored.

As they pass²artist Robert Aitken's statue of a young lady, sitting while reading, entitled "The Future" perhaps the chief of staff can read aloud the inscription at its base:

"What is past is prologue"³--Robert Aitken Statue, Future--

• UPDATED AP, Bush says US to send more troops to Afghanistan

-----notes-----

1. A variant of "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it", which of course implies King Bush the Idiot first learned about the past.

2. The beautiful and prescient statue is located on Pennsylvania Avenue and 7th.

3. The inscription comes from William Shakespeare's "The Tempest": "Whereof what’s past is prologue", William Shakespeare, circa 1623.
