Agreed. The Bush Administration’s inability to communicate is their single biggest failing if you ask me.
He did a lot of things right, but quite honestly he lost his own presidency and perhaps the Republic (look at what just happened) because of his "new tone" idea.
The Bush Administration’s inability DECISION NOT to communicate
He could have gone on TV on any day and laid out his case. He refused to do it. It was the most insane policy in American political history, but he did it. I'll never understand why.
Oh, I don't know. He did a pretty good job communicating his desire to give amnesty to any Mexican illegal alien who came across the border.
Speaking of which, do you really view his inability to communicate as a bigger failure than not securing the borders after the attacks on 9/11?
The same applies on the crucial issue of Saddam's biological & chemical weapons (WMD) (which he used against the Kurds) being trucked into Syria in December of 2002, with the assistance of Putin's weather satellites.
The leftist geared mass media continues lying saying there were 'no WMD in Iraq', when the White House could have countered their lies, but then there was the issue of direct Kremlin involvement, thus nothing was stated to avoid a greater issue (the enemy behind the enemy).
