@oleo,
That was an interesting artical.
They all agree that the Bush admin. really droped the ball.
I liked the comment from one of Bushs speech writers.
David Frum: "I always believed as a speechwriter that if you could persuade the president to commit himself to certain words, he would feel himself committed to the ideas that underlay those words. And the big shock to me has been that although the president said the words, he just did not absorb the ideas. And that is the root of, maybe, everything."
I guess Bush was just giving us lip service. Bush can talk the talk, but he falls flat on his face when he tries to walk the walk.
