<any mainstream candidate would be pretty much where Bush is today, same mistakes, same successes>

You've GOT to be kidding! Bush is the ONLY one I know that would set up an office to cherry-pick intelligence in favor of invading Iraq, use it to sell the case, invade a country that wasn't a threat illegally and then blame the quagmire on faulty intelligence! Bush hijacked American sentiment to invade Iraq.

My point and we have driven off a different road is that after 9/11, any mainstream candidate would be pretty much where Bush is today, same mistakes, same successes.

Bush spent a good percentage of his time clearing brush off the Crawford ranch. THE man with the plan was Paul Wolfowitz.

There's no way that any of the "Presidents" you mentioned would have had Paul Wolfowitz [and Douglas Feith] anywhere near the White House. Without Paul Wolfowitz, Chalabi and his sources would have been nobodies. It would have affected the very content of the Intelligence Estimates.
