The left in this country and MSM are the ones who have divided us, not the President. However, President Bush ( and I have been one of his biggest fans) is going to have to make it appear he is trying to bring the country together, also he will stand up for the mititary first!
I believe in President Bush and I do see this could change his legacy. He is up for the challenge!
The decisions are his and his alone. IMO, if he's not going to follow the report, he made an error "endorsing" the study group, by having it headed by a "family" advisor of known views, and by reaching into the study group for his Sec of Defence. We'll see what he does. You're correct that his "legacy" is at stake, though that shouldn't be the basis for decisions.
