Maybe I wasn't clear in my post. This is why I said what I did. If George W. Bush did not anticipate the influence of "the biggest power in American Politics for 60 years," then he shouldn't even be allowed to dress himself in the morning.

They turned on him on a dime. Being a big political power, and being willing to use that power to lose a war for political puposes is considerably different.

I admit, perhaps the biggest mistake G. W. Bush made was underestimating the hostility of the Establishment Media, and its willingness to fabricate lies to destroy his presidency.
But it was not so obvious that this was the case before we invaded to end the war in Iraq. I do not recall a single person predicting it. Maybe you can help my memory. There might have been a couple.
