I tend to wonder if Bush is releasing this info THROUGH Santorum, rather than Santorum just acting on his own. If Bush had released it himself, the MSM wanks would've said he was only doing it to improve his own poll numbers. If Santorum releases it, Bush isn't associated with it and the information still gets out.
We all knew there were WMDs in Iraq. And most of us know that a lot of what WAS there is now in Syria and possibly Iran because Bush tried to throw the Dems a bone. That's the only thing I really fault him on with regard to the war. Well, that and communication in general. Of course, his lack of communication has spurred the Dems to show just how bad for the country they really are.
I think that I would perhaps not do so well in a chess game against Mr. Bush. If this was all strategery from the get-go, I have to say he's done pretty darned well.
Theres so much ambiguity in the multiple plots that I could only guess at one here. Weve seen this kind of rope-a-dope strategy from Bush, but never one that played out over years like this. Perhaps this is the big one, with the others were like the wheels within wheels, but I think brilliant strategy is often invented in hindsight. I think he expected something to play out like this, with WMD discoveries vindicating him, but theres no telling if he picked this time and place.
