The Bush Administration is becoming more and more isolated in its political clout as 2008 nears. The straw that broke the camel’s back was the Republican loss of control in the Senate and House in 2006.
Now that the Democrats have vested political power via legislation, their money donations or money donated to anti-Bush organizations is increasing by volumes. This affords the Democrats (in Party and Leftist organizations) a propaganda machine that is mighty and difficult to correct.
Worse for President Bush is that the one time centralized Conservative pundits, politicians and blogs have become fractured with a few still supporting the President but many abandoning him over their own pet peeve agendas.
As the Politico puts it “the Bush White House Juggernaut” has been broken. With the huge Conservative dissent on the White House/Senate proposed legislation about illegal aliens, I am convinced the President is feeling very squeezed.
I myself stand by President Bush’s decisions to confront terrorism at home and abroad; however there is a huge appearance that the execution of planning was deficient.
Afghanistan and Iraq should have been invaded. The former for its obvious support of al-Qaeda and its Islamofascist homicidal suicide attack on American soil; the later is justified because of Saddam’s support for global terrorism and the genocide of his own nation’s citizens that were a source of challenge to his Sunni/tribal power base.
Bush’s Iraq mistake was not using the proper documented reasoning for the invasion; rather the Administration used the WMD card. I still believe that card is viable unfortunately lack of planning allowed Saddam or Russia or Syria to extricate the smoking gun of the existence of WMD. I don’t know if Bush was prepared to take a political hit by allowing the Russians to cover-up their complicity in aiding Saddam or if the American leadership was inept and allowed the WMD to be withdrawn from Iraq. We may never know or if historians are lucky, fifty years down the road some nations archives are opened to allow the truth to come out. (Some what like the Soviet murders the Czar’s family and Communist infiltration into American government.)
The President obviously had his own tools to counter anti-war Leftist and Democratic Party propaganda but failed to use them. NOW the President is forced to make unsavory deals with the devil to get anything moving politically for the rest of his term of Office. If the Left becomes too fringe, the only weapon President Bush has now is the VETO.
Let us pray President Bush makes good decisions the rest of his term AND let us pray Conservatives can once again unite behind someone to take down the Democrats. (My favorite has not even announced a candidacy as yet: Fred Thompson)
