Ha ha ha!!! He always claims that others misunderestimate HIM but yes, he has misunderestimated pretty much everything including the war- but does his ego allow him to stop? nooooooo. He will just continue underestimating all of his actions and he will then misunderestimate his reactions to his original underestimations until America admits that they MISUNDERESTIMATED the results of putting him in office in the first place and then it will be too late to do anything about all the misunderestimations he has created including, but not limited to his GREAT misunderestimation of the war in Iraq.Thanks for asking.

It has been going on since March 2003, which is a longer period than we spent in WW II!
Military deaths are now 4 times a year more than those we lost before Bush said "Mission Accomplished"!
We already have 16 dead this month and 3, 354 come back in body bags from Iraq.
Though Bush has made 500 new millionaires off of the war in Iraq, it is going to cost the "Taxpayers" (Not the rich) over 1/2 TRILLION and he just asked for more money. Bush thinks the well is endless! As does he thins are losses don't matter as he cuts widows benefits and 100 BILLION from the Veterans Hospitals, where many who lost arms and legs, and have other injuries are going to wind up!
Bush did not listen to his father and he badly screwed up his phony fiasco in Iraq!
"We would have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in effect, rule Iraq. The coalition would instantly have collapsed, the Arabs deserting it in anger and other allies pulling out as well. Under those circumstances, furthermore, we had been self-consciously trying to set a pattern for handling aggression in the post-cold war world. Going in and occupying Iraq, thus unilaterally exceeding the U.N.'s mandate, would have destroyed the precedent of international response to aggression we hoped to establish. Had we gone the invasion route, the U.S. could conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land. It would have been a dramatically different--and perhaps barren--outcome.
Excerpt from "Why We Didn't Remove Saddam" by George Bush [Sr.] and Brent Scowcroft, Time (2 March 1998):"
Bush only had an entrance plan and he has fired more Generals than any president in the history of the US! He still has no exit plan and Republicans like McCain, who should have been a groundpounder and not a flyboy, want the Dems to come up with one?
OK! Start withdrawing them! What we do now is not going to make a difference in the outcome. It may give Bush the excuse he needs to go into Iran, which would be a HUGE mistake!!

I believe President Bush truly thought he was doing the right thing for the people of the USA. I believe he has a profound fear that if we don't walk away with our heads held high and a message to terrorist all over the world that "these colors don't run" and that we will not accept defeat that they will come onto our land and start the fight here. The liberals would all change their tune then. They would then all believe in guns.
I also believe he did not understand the culture of people in the middle east. They are not like us and very few of us would tolerate their culture if given the opportunity to know them.

"misunderestimate?"
Let me get this straight. To MIS-Underestimate is to estimate correctly everything with the Iraq war?
I don't think you meant to say, "Misunderestimate." Did you?

No, He underestimated the American public, Duckin and Runnin out on him and Our Military.....
Even the ones who voted for the war turned on him, is he a setup?? Is he what the Dems use in thier election to discredit the Republican Party??
Of course.... he's the scapegoat for all the evil in the world according to some....but then thats from all the constant bombing of the evil republicans in the media.... and the Riding in to save the day by all the Democrats......
They are disgraceing our Nation!
President Bush took a strong stand, and had he not then..... now they would be bashing him on no action at all....
God Bless America!
I'm proud of our Military....

lol "misunderestimate" is a 'bushism' - and I'd say probably. But the more important question is did the neo-con think tanks do so? and why?

Yea that's not a word like everyone else said. But yes he did, stupidly we all fully backed him though. Fear makes people do some horrible stupid things. I wouldnt have a problem with it if he had admitted he was wrong and changed the plan. Now he's just starting to do all that curiously close to the last election and the presidential election.

Bush underestimated the capability of the Iraqis to survive even when there is an American takeover. The Iraqis might have been overrun but their thinking cannot be subdued or changed.

There is no such word as "misunderestimate". What would that mean?
