THAT is the situation in a nutshell. Very concisely done. I believe the following quote is extremely important: "he is so stupendously incurious" The question is: why? We have all seen this trait before, mostly in teenagers. They already know everything, and therefore become curiously incurious. It is only when they experience the pain themselves do they 'get it'. Maybe that is what Bush needs before he'll 'get it'. The age-old dilemma replayed yet again. It seems that the father indeed cannot warn the son of life's pitfalls; he must fall into each hole himself. So, 43 is destined to fall into the same pits as 41.

The President seems to believe that wishing will make it so — and he is so stupendously incurious that he rarely makes an effort to find the truth of the matter. He misleads not only the nation but himself. Every worst-case Saddam scenario just had to be true, as did every best-case post-Saddam scenario. How very true........this is what I've said so many times in the past. I think its endemic to the whole conservative community. I think they start screwing with the truth right of the cradle.
