President Bush on the Rioting
- Share via
“Wanton lawlessness and . . . criminality”? Bush should know of what he speaks when considering his own wanton lawlessness: Iraqgate, Panama, Irangate, BCCI and the S&L; “riots” to name but a few. He hardly seems to have the moral force and leadership to lecture anyone looking at his halting neglect of our people and the economy. The looting, arson and death in Los Angeles pale in comparison to that of his own. And he said it with a straight face!
