"Probably none will be more pleased that Al Qaeda."

None will be sadder you mean. No one gave Al Qaeda the kind of PR they longed for like Bush. They will miss him terribly. Bush did almost everything Al Qaeda could have hoped for. He gave them enormous press for 9/11. And who hasn't heard the mantra 9/11 changes everything? That's an Al Qaeda wet dream, that is. And the Iraq invasion? Talk about a gift to Al Qaeda. Al Qaeda may not have been much in Iraq before our invasion, but they are certainly there now. I hope they send Mr. Bush a thank you card before he leaves.

For the rest of us, not so interested in supporting Al Qaeda, I don't think we can see the back of Mr. Bush soon enough.

This is a tough one....we will need some very smooth operators to repair americas image abroard .

An expert manipulator is needed....and i dont see one out there.
But the i would not expect one to declear themselves so early in the campaign......

a last minute white knight would be nice


personally i have been dissapointed by how the current candidates of both parties are attacking each other like pyrranas.

To begin with i would look out for someone who appeals to both parties moderates.

Another eisenhower would be nice.
