I think everyone must admit that Bush is not an articulate man. Nor is he a man of vision. He has a great deal of trouble trying to get his ideas out to the public and always leaves his audience wondering exactly what is on his mind. This lack of articulation has caused a great deal of confusion in the country, which has led to all these wild notions that Bush is a Nazi warmonger.
I am not a Bush supporter. I never supported the idea of invading Iraq. In gleaming thru several of Bush's speeches, his underlying thought for invasion seemed reasonable: Iraq had in the past used its oil revenue to finance terrorism around the world. We are at war with terrorism. His notion seemed to be to topple the Iraqi government and replace it with a democratic government to deny terrorist revenue to wage their war.
That is certainly logical thinking. However, Bush's lack of vision prevented him from seeing the void in an Iraqi government would open the country to an extremists takeover. Iraq is now in danger of being taken over by a worst group of extremist. If these people take over the oil fields, they would have an unlimited supply of money to send suicide bombers into every shopping mall in America.
Bush's mishandling of Katrina pales in comparison to the bungling in Iraq. His lack of vision has led us into a hornet's nest. We cannot cut and run in Iraq. At this point, we must deny the extremists access to the oil fields. It's likely going to take a larger troop buildup and a draft to raise the army needed.
It's clear that Bush's notion of invading Iraq was aimed at beating terrorism. His lack of vision, however, has led us into a war that is going to cost many more American lives.
