Petulent Child
In terms of Irans lack of nuclear program, Bush is following the same script he has for everything his administration is exposed on.
Illegal wiretapping comes out and he responds with "F.U. I'm the president."
No WMD - "F.U. I'm the president."
Habeus Corpus - "F.U. I'm the president."
Torture - "F.U. I'm the president."
Plame Debacle - "F.U. I'm the president."
etc. etc.
Bush is primo example number one of poor leadership. His only leadership skill is based on his formal authority (he's the president of the USA and he's got lotsa and lotsa bombs). This is the most vacuous form of leadership - leadership based only on position or title. A true leader influences the world by convincing, connecting, and engaging people in a shared vision. Obviously Bush is not a vision guy, according to him he's a "decision" guy.
He's a fool with too much power - a petulent child with a petulent smirk.
