I don’t think I said what Bush should have done.
Maybe the war in Iraq was so important that in exchange it was worth it to have Obama as President.
There are probably a lot of different things that Bush could have done that he believed very strongly in, things that he thought would be good for the country, things that would be unpopular, things that would cause Republicans to lose in 2006 and 2008 because Republicans would have to defend Bush’s unpopular policy, things that would cause Obama to be elected.
The war in Iraq did not result in Obama.
btw, I can't believe how many peaceniks are hanging around FR these days.
If I didn't know better, I'd think I got sucked into a time machine and ended up in Haight Ashbury in 1969........
