George W. Bush makes for an easy target as both Al Gore and Hillary Clinton demonstrate. While a tad harsh, they both voice opinions expressed more privately by many. Clearly he is responsible for the advise he receives. On this alone, he has done poorly enough that his disingenuousness borders dishonesty on more than one issue. The situation we currently face in Iraq has been known and debated since his father's administration. The Senior Bush's administration understood that Saddam Hussein, while a tyrant, held together an extremely fragmented and hostile country. There was little chance the United States, with Allies, could militarily improve Iraq's internal situation in the absence of a protracted involvement. Because Saddam Hussein threatened the Senior Bush, George W. Bush found sufficient reasoning to engage Iraq in military confrontation. The weapons of mass destruction argument was merely a red herring.
