Faith just for the rubes
Like Reagan before him, Bush was the affable dunce that the GOP power brokers would present to the rubes while retaining the real power for themselves.
The war in Iraq was pre-ordained the moment Dick Cheney selected himself as vice president.
As we learned from former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neil, the invasion of Iraq was the main agenda of the very first meeting of the Bush National Security Council in early 2001.
The invasion wasn't about national security -- it was about cheap oil and domestic political exploitation for the 2002 and 2004 elections.
The bloody occupation now is soley about running out the clock so Iraq won't be "lost on Bush's watch." Faith? That's just for the rubes.
