Bush has fucked up everything, it seems. Even his signature "War on Terror" is based on faulty premises and a completely erroneous strategy. That was the finding of the Rand Corporation, which is not exactly a cabal of liberal navel-gazers.
That should not be a shock. Much of what has gone wrong in Afghanistan has gone wrong because of the use of 1,000lb bombs and Hellfire missiles as counterinsurgency tools. The Air Force is whining that they are not being allowed to drop huge bombs into crowded villages because the wimps running the war have belatedly come to realize that blowing up families as "collateral damage" does not win a lot of friends for the effort. Even when the Air Force drops bombs, they have a tendency to bomb our minions.
Bush is doing it wrong, which is hardly a surprise. He has not shown any talent at anything since he gave up booze and blow.
