“Shultz says that he believes that “President Bush is trying to establish a sense of direction, but he’s having a hard time doing it, and one reason is the fact we’re so bogged down in Iraq.”
There also needs to be a little credit for President Bush Sr. whom was actually President when the wall came down.
When the wall fell, President Bush had been in office just a tad longer than W. had been in office when 9/11 happened. That is, I don't think Bush deserves very much credit regarding responsibility at all.
