George W. Bush’s War

If you read Robert Scheer’s commentary, Bush in Free Fall, http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/20070724_bush_in_free_fall/
and then read HEROES AND HISTORY by David Brooks http://www.isranet.org/picks_of_the_week.htm#heroes
you may wonder if these two writers are on the same planet. If the David Brooks report is accurate than Robert Scheer’s commentary is pointless. George W. Bush believes he is on the correct course. He considers himself to be beyond, or is it above, the arguments about the Iraq War. He sees himself as the leader of a free world that must convert the rest of the world to his view.

To answer Robert Scheer’s questions there is no disaster and therefore the message of poll ratings does not mean anything. His view is he is the commander in chief and does not have to listen to anything Congress or the people say about this war. Unless two thirds of the congress supports our withdrawal he will not even entertain this idea. At that point I still doubt he would listen to the public. It is not likely he will be impeached. Such discussion is pointless.

We can only hope that the president does not steer us into any additional wars.
