I think this president's a disaster. I think this is the most right-wing administration we've had. It's an administration that makes all of its decisions based on a political calculus, at least domestically, and has been disastrous in terms of our relationships with other people around the world, and that went into this Iraq thing in a way that has made us bear the entire burden, a burden that we didn't have to bear, because of hubris. There are three aspects to this: One, Bush alienated the rest of the world, so we are bearing this basically alone. Two, he misled the American people as to why we were going to war. And three, they went in there without planning for anything but the best-case scenario.
