What good is "exceptional intelligence" if you can't translate it into winning and effective policy. By all accounts and evidence the country is in a mess on almost every level and one can point quite clearly to cheney and rumsfeld for their unfair share of the reasons. No, not by all accounts. By YOUR account. I don't believe the country is in a mess on every level. If one considers the cards this administration was dealt, I find the country to be in astonishingly good condition at this point. I do believe that Rumsfeld was too optimistic, and frankly, I believed in him and was proven wrong. Cheney has been demonized by the Left without cause -- he appears to be a highly competent in every respect, and excellent at what he does. He is not politically motivated and does only what he believes is in the nation's interest. You cannot fault a man for that unless you are just criticizing his politics, which is hardly a basis for complaining (he is, after all, an elected official). I continue to believe the Bush administration has had an exceptionally competent cabinet, and the fact that we haven't been attacked since 9/11 is highly suggestive of this fact. It was the right group of people at the right time.
