Bush is a fool. However, now that he has gotten the U.S. into this mess, it's very hard to see any satisfactory way to get out of it. Because he's a black-and-white thinker who seems to be believe he's on a mission from God, he'll continue to stay the course.

"Poor leadership is better than no leadership"? I beg to disagree. A stupid man who does nothing is much less dangerous than a stupid man who wants to lead people. Had the U.S. had the former, it would simply be the laughing-stock of the world. Because it has the latter, it's both the laughing-stock of the world and bleeding the lives of its soldiers.

Consider the fact that Lincoln went through three generals before he found Grant. Not all Generals are equal. General Dwight Eisenhower had to replace numerous general during WWII, Truman replaced MacArthur in the Korean Conflict, and Westmoreland was followed other Generals in Viet Nam.
What will be Bush's next idea for America? The Legislative Branch has not seen fit to solve problems he has felt that needed attention--Social Security Reform, Making the 2003 tax cuts permanent, new energy bill, a new education bill, bills to upgrade traffic control equipment, bills to address water control, passage of bills that support all of the recommendations of the 911 Commission. Considering he has less than 18 months left in office and does not have the votes in Congress/Senate, I doubt he will be pushing any new domestic changes.
Will he stay the course of his failed policies? The majority of his foreign polices seem to have provide favorable relations with the majority of power house countries of the world (China, United Arab Immigrates, England, and etc.) Hey, we have not had a fuel embrago since Carter. His North Korean policy seems to be working, both governments of Afganisian and Iraq are still working and the region is still rather stable.
The Turks are not invading the northern regions of Iraq, Syria is not invading the western regions of Iraq, and Iran is not invading Iraq. So yes, he will continue on the current course provided funding is available from the Legistature.

Bush's ideals go along with his military record "AWOL" nobody is home. The Generals and Admirals he fired certainly aren't going to have to take any discourse or credit for the Republicans demise come 08 elections. The Iraq war is solely George Bush and the Republicans war and failure.

Thanks I was hoping someone would bring up that Bush fired the generals who thought the surge was a bad idea, hired one who agreed with him, and now chastises us for not listening to the generals. Wow.

What we can hope for is that He will not fold like the democrats and try and quit the fight. Poor leadership is better than no leadership. Ask Yourself why Hillary or Obama or any of the other leaders in the party can come up with a plan to win instead of one to surrender??
