Attributing Bush's actions definitively to this influence is way over the top, I would agree, but I don't think the author did that, although he flirted with the notion
Monbiot certainly did his best to make it sound like the 'Left-Behinders' are driving Bush administration policy:


LOL. Yes, he did make it sound like that. I guess I've gotten so used to see "definitively attribute" expressed a la Ann Coulter that what this guy said, relatively speaking, was a "flirt." He never even asserted that the left-behinders are driving polity let alone engage in a diatribe about it. He only asserted that there were "left-behinders" in positions of influence. Hence the "flirt."

Edit: This seems similar to the way the administration "made it sound like" there was imminent risk to our homeland from Iraq. I forgot the name for this technique. It will come to me.
