Maybe they'll keep him drugged up (as I suspect Bush is) to keep him in line
Bush is probably not drugged up. He looks like someone who is actually feeling some remorse for things that he ordered. We can all agree that he he has aged tremendously in the last three-four years.
I know you and 240 think it was all about oil, and I'm sure that was part of Bush's conscious design, but I'm equally positive that he saw himself as God's warrior....put here to answer the call to battle against the evil of radical Islam.
And now he realizes that he wasn't able to gain a victory in that battle, so he looks elsewhere. Putting pressure on Israel to talk to Palestine, letting Iran off the hook instead of capitalizing on opportunities to strike, promising huge amounts of aid to Africa (which that numskull HH6 apparently hasn't noticed...yes, HH6, I called your dumb ass a name this time. two actually
)
It's got to be hard....he bit off more than he could chew, and it seems like he realizes it now.
