    How are Katrina and Iraq "external events," anyway?

    Bush completely ignored the warnings about Katrina, and earlier, had refused to fund the reinforcement of the levees even though he was warned they were vulnerable long before the hurricane. He completely botched the preparation and the aftermath. And he GOT US INTO Iraq!! How are either of these events "external" to him? Even that premise is unbelievably forgiving.
