I can't really judge or blame Bush. This whole story is similar to LBJ's Presidency, both were President during a real tough time with tribulations for the whole nation and both served up what they and their cabinet members thought were best, both received decisions from edgy people. In LBJ's case Macnamara and Bush's case Rove and I can't really ask for more, because you can't change the past and their decisions. Probably 50 years in the future most will look back and cut Bush some slack, because of the difficult situation he was put in, like they did LBJ.
