That's an interesting take on Bush, I was just reading a review of Woodward's book this weekend that talked about a somewhat unique aspect to his (Bush's) personality: He is absolutely w/o self doubt or introspection of any kind, he considers these weaknesses. Combined w/ faith-based intelligence before the war and his own private talks w/ his God, (a real warmonger of a God if there ever was), there was basically no chance for anyone w/ an opposing view to get a listen in his cabinet.
Obviously these traits are open to interpretation, some of his supporters consider them a sign of a real "take charge", macho Texan kind of a guy, just what the world needs right now.
The rest of us consider him a dangerous force w/ really questionable motives and brain power.
Most leaders, even brilliant ones, are surrounded by other strong personalities debating fiercely over major policy, especially going to war. Not this president. I am absolutely convinced now that his Dad, if allowed a powerful voice, would not have co-signed the events leading up to the current situation.
Kerry? A political opportunist. Why do we always have choices like George Bush's drunken idiot son or Al "couldn't sell ******* in a logging camp" Gore?? And now Kerry? Sheesh! Why can't McCain or even Edwards make the final cut?
