Well, Bush certainly succeeded in his first couple of points - there wasn't another successful attack. But I personally think Bush got railroaded into some of his more faulty decisions by his advisors and guys like Cheney. I often commented that the intelligent, dynamic Governor of Texas was nowhere to be found. And this wasn't the first time I'd seen this behavior in a politician once he got within sniffing distance of the Presidency (see "McCain, John"). I used to joke that I wondered what was in the water in D.C.
