If he resigned, and took his compatriot, i.e. master puppeteer, Dick Cheney, with him.\nThat would definitely put him in a good light, because then you see, I would finally see him make a smart move.

I would grow some respect for Bush if he were man enough to admit he’s made horrific mistakes which have cost this country thousands of lives and billions of dollars. I would also have more respect for him if he asked for America’s and the world’s forgiveness.

I think he's viable for that reason alone... people are not responding well to the partisan views of the current Republican leadership... I think if you go with someone like a Frist, it's a sinking boat, as things stand now...

I believe so.When five retired generals think he should go,that's a pretty good sign that he has not gotten the job done.Personally,I would have aked him to resign long before now.This war has been a farce.Our troops went in woefully unprepared for the combat they are now engaged in.We did not take the insurgents into consideration.Why not? Isn't that part of Rumsfeld's job? The sheer arrogance of this man is appalling.He ,like our president , will never admit to mistakes made.They just keep telling the American citizens to be patient.Baloney.There is no exit strategy now and who knows when we can expect any.We're in such a mess now that I don't know if there is a way out that will allow us to save face with the world or not.There is something wrong when practically all the president's cabinet and colleagues are at the center of controversy every time you turn on the television.

From the accounts I read he is trying to get back his previous support but his crowds get thinner and thinner.  I understand he is going to swear himself in as the legitimate President and try to stop the real President elect from taking office in December.  However, I understand people are getting tired of it and I suspect he might have done better to have accepted the cabinet seat and a pivotal role, when he could have positioned himself for the next election.

He will, but the question is will he get the GOP nomination OVER Guiliani...  Either one would be an excellent canidate.

He would be Gilligan to Karl Rove's Skipper.\n\nHe would lead the cheer squad against the Globetrotters.

I like that idea.....hmmmmmm How could they get President Fox to step down...Good idea.

great, yes he could win the nomination, although that depends on his wife Elizabeth's health; he is a good choice because he talks about the good in America, the hope for a better future, college for all students who want to work hard and attend,, he speaks well, doesn't read from a script, tells it like it is, with a positive message,, a desire to unite a divided America,,  refreshing after listening instead to the Rove-Bush focus on evil and fear,, criticizing the media for printing a story about  the terrorists assets,, something the Bush team and Homeland Security has talked about many times,, their rhetoric is getting tiresome,,\nI sometimes wonder what it would take for citizens to stand up and say  "we are sick and tires,and are not going to take it anymore."

I think firing Hamas is definitly out of the question, since there would just be pure chaos. Stepping down would not be a very good idea since if he did there would be no bridge to the PA that Israel or the US to use in any such negotitiations. I don't think he failed, he may not have been to affective. It's a hard line to balance to try to please the more radicals but yet also appear as a peacemaker at the same time. It's something that few leaders in that region have been able to do very well. If they appear to much with the radicals they are labelled as dictators or a supporter of terrorism. If they appear to much of a peacemaker and side to much with the West, then they appear as a puppet and weak. This pressure is doubled for Abbas and especially now with Hamas in the government.

Cheney would sell his grandmother into slavery if it made his buddies in the oil biz an extra 50 cents.  He's already sold out our country for them.  It wouldn't surprise me one bit to find out that Iraq happened just to give Haliburton a profit (after all, he did take a multi-million dollar parachute from them when he left as CEO to run for VP).\n\nRove and his minions have been pretty good about hiding the depth to which Shrub & Co were involved in Enron, but the truth will someday out, and when it does, Bush better hope he has a buddy in the WH who can pardon him.

in the future, yes. he seems like he really does have potential to be a good leader. at the moment, i think it would be overwhelming to him. but he's got plenty of time.

Actually - I'd agree with the nomination of Colin Powell. He was an honest man in a den of liars. He did his duty as best he could, and then got the hell out of there. He's made his displeasure known, to a degree, but hasn't gone out of his way to trash the administration. In general, he seems like a class act.

Dubya would do it, but then he would ask Ari Flieshcher to tell everyone about it and get it on TV.\n\nAnd he'd make up a big sign with a cool tagline for the press conference.

Yeah...he can suddenly turn Republican\njust like Joe LIE-berman
274268
Well... maybe now I will hope for him to run and win, if only the uber-libs would keep up on their promise to move out of the US if he does win....\n\nSeriously though... I would vote for him if he were the best choice. But I do not think he is the best choice out of the Republican party. If it ended up though, Jeb Bush against Hillary or Kerry or that kind of Liberal ilk, I would vote for him as the lesser of 2 evils

Rummy was expendable.  Getting rid of him is an attempt by Bush to look like he been chasten by the Republican loss.  Time will tell, but I'm not counting on much from the president.

You will have a hard time getting one sensible answer to this question, you will get those that are Bush basher's, my self included, and you will get those that all they can do is repeat repuglican rhetoric and cannot think for themselves, like oh he makes me feel safe. I really can't think of one good thing he has done and the only potential thing that he will do is leave office.
