It may have already happened and I have missed it, but I just saw the first critical comments about Bush and Iraq from a conservative Republican. Bush may be in bigger trouble these next two years than he realizes.
Rumsfeld has not only sunk the Bush ship, he has sunk the Republican ship with his stagnation in Iraq for the last three years.
Bush could have been a great president but the cloud of Iraq will destroy him like Vietnam did Johnson.
Rumsfeld abdicated to his generals, continually saying I'm doing what my Generals tell me what to do.
If the Generals were calling the shots and obviously not getting the job done, they should have been fired along with Rumsfeld but Bush didn't have the brains or guts to do it.
This separates Bush for presidents like Lincoln and even Truman, who fired generals until they found the ones that would get the job done.
But for Bush to watch this fiasco go on for 3.5 years is totally inexcusable.
I'm a conservable republican that has never voted democrat and a retired LtCol but this type screw up is totally without excuse. Brain Dead stupid.
Bush is going down and he is taking the whole republican party with him. What a tragic end to what started out to be such a brilliant presidency.
