Bolton: ‘In 100 years people aren’t going to remember Guantánamo or Abu Ghraib.’
With President Bush’s time in office rapidly coming to an end, his loyal supporters are working overtime to spin his legacy positively. In an interview with the Telegraph, Bush’s former UN ambassador, John Bolton, claims that “in 100 years,” people won’t remember two of the biggest stains on Bush’s record, Guantánamo Bay and Abu Ghraib:
“In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, he was strong and decisive and that was critical for both the country and for the Western world,” believes John Bolton. “In 100 years people aren’t going to remember Guantánamo or Abu Ghraib, they’re going to remember 9/11 and Bush’s reaction to it.”
Bolton’s claim that history will forget Bush’s human rights abuses is similar to State Department spokesman Sean McCormack’s claim that in 50 years no one will remember the shoe-hurling Iraqi journalist.

By then Americans will be kidnapped and held without charges. Tortured/raped/murdered all under the Bush Policy. Yes this is a terrorist dream as now they can say it's the Bush Torture Policy. Look how quickly Israel learned that it's ok to invade and murder woman/children. Yes Israel will wipe the Palestine people off the map and then look to take Syria, Iraq and Egypt next.
Yeah, well, in 100 years people will still remember the name of Bolton:
Worst U.S. Official to the UN Ever
