As many times as the current administration has dropped the ball, he is not in a class with Sadam so leave the clown suit out...
Pick your poison is about correct. Bush did a pretty good job AFTER 911 regarding pure terrorists. The reasons for going to war in Iraq with WMD and all was a round peg sledgehammered into a square hole. Iraq was an operation waiting for an excuse - buildup was going on for tooo long and had been too predominantly on the radar even before that Sept (my opinion but I'm not alone on that). But still, Sadamm is better off gone. And hopefully the Iraqi people will be better off with him gone (there are a lot of pro-post war details that conveniently get underreported). I would have favored the war under some of the other issues of the day, the potential of WMD sure, but that he was evil and that peace in the middle east / national security would benefit in a long term view - 30 years.
Where I think the administration REALLY screwed the pooch was in the way they've handled a lot of the strategic decisions starting the days just after the war. It seems that the Iraqis didn't fall into the plan (as little as it was) for the after war. Some of these people in these high positions are not being realistic enough or are doing the corporate - things will turn our way if we BS hard enough.We kept hearing about the next "Marshall Plan" but that plan seemed to be a heeluva lot more realistic.
All taht said, Michael Moore IS and will always be, the consumate assholio
