Hi Mike, You wrote- "I think many of the really stupid ideas are Bush's. He is dupable, but he embraces idiocy and makes it his own." LOL. Yes, and David Brooks seems to agree with you. Meet the Press was particularly enlightening yesterday. Both Brooks and Friedman, both big time supporters of the war up until two years ago were on and had some interesting things to say. Here is something I've been wondering about although I figured that Cheney would be the first to go: Mr. BROOKS: So what’s going to happen? These Republicans do not want to run in 2008 with Iraq hanging over. They never want to face another election like that. So at some point, six months, eight months, there’s going to be men in gray suits. There’s going to be a delegation going into that White House saying to President Bush, “You are not destroying our party over this.” And Bush will push back. But that’s going to be the, the tension. Talk about world—American support for the war, it’s Republican support in Washington for the war that the president needs to worry about. I guess that's about the time you really have to worry about Bush going over the edge if he is indeed unstable as you suggested. Craig
