Will Bush leave a WAR DISASTER for the next president?

Question

yes

Answer 1

Yes, hopefully the next president knows what to do and improve our country.

Answer 2

Well, there's 2 years left in his presidency and we all know how much things can change in 2 years. If Bush's plan goes the way it was planned to go, then I don't think we'll be there much longer after 2007. If we hit another bump in the road, then chances are things will be in the last phases of the war once the presidential elections are here. But nobody can predict the future. So let's just hope things happen for the best. And since we are already there, let's root for this plan to work so we don't find our country involved in another conflict over there within the next 10 years.

Secretary of State Colin Powell's former chief of staff has offered a remarkably blunt criticism of the administration he served, saying that foreign policy had been usurped by a "Cheney-Rumsfeld cabal," and that President Bush has made the country more vulnerable, not less, to future crises. The comments came in a speech Wednesday by Lawrence Wilkerson, who worked for Mr. Powell at the State Department from 2001 to early 2005. Speaking to the New America Foundation, an independent public-policy institute in Washington, Mr. Wilkerson suggested that secrecy, arrogance and internal feuding had taken a heavy toll in the Bush administration, skewing its policies and undercutting its ability to handle crises. "I would say that we have courted disaster, in Iraq, in North Korea, in Iran, generally with regard to domestic crises like Katrina, Rita - and I could go on back," he said. "We haven't done very well on anything like that in a long time."

Mr. Wilkerson suggested that the dysfunction within the administration was so grave that "if something comes along that is truly serious, truly serious, something like a nuclear weapon going off in a major American city, or something like a major pandemic, you are going to see the ineptitude of this government in a way that will take you back to the Declaration of Independence."

Mr. Wilkerson, a retired Army colonel and former director of the Marine Corps War College, said that in his years in or close to government, he had seen its national security apparatus twisted in many ways. But what he saw in Mr. Bush's first term "was a case that I have never seen in my studies of aberration, bastardizations" and "perturbations." "What I saw was a cabal between the vice president of the United States, Richard Cheney, and the secretary of defense, Donald Rumsfeld, on critical issues," he said. The former aide referred to Mr. Bush as someone who "is not versed in international relations, and not too much interested in them, either." He was far more admiring of the president's father, whom he called "one of the finest presidents we've ever had."

Mr. Wilkerson has long been considered a close confidant of Mr. Powell, but their relationship has apparently grown strained at times - including over the question of unconventional weapons in Iraq - and the former colonel said Mr. Powell did not approve of his latest public criticisms.

Answer 5

Well clinton left us everything undone. We had a full blown recession, we had jobs steadily going overseas, we were being attacked regularly all over the world by terrorist and even the WTC in 93. We have a great economy, we have more national security, things are pretty much winding down in Iraq, so I'm thinking the guy will be able to skate for 8 years like clinton did. they'll be a hero to all the ignorant ones who think doing nothing is good.

Answer 6

Yes, 100% yes. The fool will walk away and leave someone else to clean up his crap. Or more likely, to take the fall for his screw up.
