It is symptomatic of our president's biggest failing: communication and leadership. He and his administration should have been out there everyday for the last four years reminding and re convincing the country about why we went into Iraq and why we must finish in Iraq. Instead he has been quiet and let his opposition obfuscate and reshape the discussion of what we are doing there to the point that many who would be inclined to agree and support him openly question and criticize our mission there. It is Bush's failing and has limited him to mediocrity when he had the opportunity to be a great.
It is symptomatic of our president's biggest failing: communication and leadership With regards to the WOT: Communication yes, leadership no. His communication is mediocre and his PR is awful, but we had an incling of that when he was elected in 2000. His steadfastness and leadership in the WOT has been excellent.
Let's face it, BUSH is fighting a two front war, one against enemies abroad and one against enemies at home. Has any other President had such a vocal and vociferous opponent at home when America was under attack from abroad?
