Utter tripe! That's a shame. I enjoyed (or thought I did) some of your 'embedded posts' dealing with live action in Iraq, as also your private sorties during the first and second Iraq series. But now, having read your comments on Bush, I have to reevaluate all that you have said before. If it too was as trite and trashy as this effort then all your readers have been misled. Not only in hindsight but in the day, we felt Bush struggled mightilly against a media and 'International Community' which in THIS presidency is going to pay double for their free ride. Bush was honest within the terms of his office. He could only do what the media told his electors he was permitted to perform. Under the circumstances, we feel the USA got out of it far better than they deserved and we agree with those who say Bush will be respected by History more than his detractors. However, your comments are utter rubbish and cheap rubbish at that! It sounds like you have become more establishment than the establishment! A pity but predictable.
