Edited sentence: As a whole George W.Bush has failed the American people; his promises of defense have left nothing but gaping holes in this once great nation's morals and constitutional values.He failed to capture Osama bin Laden, despite having been given the opportunity on several occasions in Afghanistan, instead switching attention to Iraq.He has assigned government agencies to tap phone lines, and gave the phone companies a shield against any lawsuits that would come up against it.He suspended Habeas Corpus, tortured innocent people, and placed innocent people on no-fly lists including Nelson Mandela, a well-known anti-apartheid activist.His reason for invading Iraq is inconsistent; he started the war preaching that Iraq had purchased uranium from Niger with the intent of making WMDs, and as of the date May 13, 2008 the only reasons he has been able to give are oil, non-existent Al-Qaeda bases in Iraq, or, now proven NOT to be true, Iranian weapon suppliers
