Actually, it was Vicomte13 who called him an idiot and in my reply I disagreed.
Not all incompetence is born of low-IQ, President Bush is quite smart.
I don't recall calling George Bush an idiot.
He's a Yale graduate, a Harvard graduate and a jet pilot.
Not an idiot at all.
I do recall saying that his strategy in Iraq is idiotic.
Because it has been and, with the recent change, still is.
A smart guy like Bush needs to use his smarts and stop shying away from doing the nasty, necessary thing. His personal morality has put him in a bash-trap, where a smart guy like he is can't bring himself to order the things which must be done, because they are evil. And so he chooses to continue an idiot's game, without actually BEING an idiot, because he'd rather lose than do all those bad things.
That serves well the state of his soul.
But it screws the pooch for the USA.
