The Tenet of Presidential Infallibilty

Last night we learned that Bush sleeps untroubled by the consequences of his decisions. Today, we learn why,
But to those who know Bush best, the president's approach is not surprising. Bush's former chief of staff, Andrew H. Card Jr. , who was by Bush's side as he formulated many of his key decisions on the war, said Bush hears many opinions and thus believes that "his knowledge is more complete than anyone who is advising him."

It's not a question of whether Bush has more knowledge about US military or diplomatic actions, it's about whether any policy figure in his administration understands the region. There's a reason so many middle east experts have been right in their predictions of outcome even if they lack Bush's "complete" knowledge,

And there's a reason this administration has so often been wrong.

  • I'm guessing that comment was blogwhoring, and Homey don't play that.

    If you've got something to say, and you want to point me to something you've written, by all means, cool.

    But, "Great blog, check out ours:" with an address won't fly.
