Is anybody surprised?
A top aide to former Secretary of State
Colin Powell said Monday that wrongheaded ideas for the handling of foreign detainees arose from White House and Pentagon officials who argued that "the president of the United States is all-powerful" and the Geneva Conventions irrelevant. In an Associated Press interview, former Powell chief of staff Lawrence Wilkerson also said President Bush was "too aloof, too distant from the details" of postwar planning. Underlings exploited Bush's detachment and made poor decisions, Wilkerson said. Wilkerson blamed Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and like-minded aides. He said Cheney must have sincerely believed that Iraq could be a spawning ground for new terror assaults, because "otherwise I have to declare him a moron, an idiot or a nefarious bastard." |

I think Bush has bought into the mythology that America's goodness and primacy is automatic and eternal. We ARE the guys in the white hats, everybody knows that.
Only problem, that sort of delusional pride leads to overconfidence and irrationality. Most religions have something about being on careful guard against pride and carelessness.

I'm not surprise the democrats are ranting up a storm.....they have no credibility outside of their own......patting each other on the back while the thinking man looks at them and wonder how they are able to tie their shoes in the morning....

how the hell do you know if it is kv or not.. the mods have been wrong more then once on this already... who cares, is that the only thing you can come up with, since you obviously can't come up with a viable argument?
