That's a Big Part of the Problem

In an article in yesterday's New York Times, we are treated to this bit of insider wisdom from one of the President's close friends:

"I think [Bush] knows it's bad over there," this person said, "but I'm not quite sure he fully appreciates the incompetence of what's gone on."

Sadly, I'm sure he doesn't, since that might actually require that the Decider take a little bit of responsibility for his decisions.
