How much success do you think President Bush will have in reining in career bureaucrats at the CIA and the Sta

Many,yes and not just that.he send our kids to Iraq to get killed just to increase his wealth. and more than that charge us money for their killing. he must send his daughters first to Iraq. I am wandering why Americans still sending their kids.

Good question. I would think yes, if he has a prescription for it. No, if he works for the government, they have to pass UA's?

I think he will get  his praise in later years. He made some important steps to give America the best defense. For example his first year in office he pulled us out of a anti ballistic missile treaty that didn't allow for us to have killer satellites.

Yes that seems like a sensible conclusion. That would also mean we would have less qualified and under qualified people leading our guys. Kind of sad if you think about it.

Bush might have fantasies about swooping into Cuba and accomplishing what no other US president in 50 years has been able to accomplish, but right now he has neither the political support nor the financial resources to do it. That doesn't mean he won't do it. He isn't always rational and neither is he always predictable. But it seems unlikely.\n\nThe Report to the President of the Commission for Assistance to a Free Cuba is a document the Bush administration wrote to justify being crueler to the citizens of Cuba and meddling more than it already does in Cuban political and social life. It is a document the Bush administration wrote to make it more difficult for Americans to have contact with Cubans and to learn the truth about Cuba. Why Bush wants to do that and why he (like so many of his predecessors) has this relentless obsession with Cuba and its leaders is more a matter for a psychiatrist than a political analyst. It makes no human, political or ethical sense. If Bush has it his way it might happen !!!

Nixon tried the war bit as an excuse as well for wiretapping without a warrent and it didn't work for him so I think Bush has some trouble looming in the near future about that.  Add in other things done and I think we got a mess coming in the not so distant future!

I think Republicans will stoop to any level to hold on to power and wealth. In the past year the FBI had 600 agents who worked 2200 public corruption cases. These led to 650 arrests and 1000 indictments with 800 convictions. The FBI now claims "there is more corruption in Washington then ever imaginable". They just added the fourth 20 member agent squad in the Washington office to deal with Corruption in Congress.   Washington now has the largest number of FBI tapped cell phones in the nation.

Neither. The only thing that will happen is bush will put another person who thinks like Rumsfeld in his place. There will be no change in that aspect. However, the person taking his place has to deal with a Democratic Congress, so now he needs to come up with an exit strategy. Rumsfeld didn't feel like dealing with it. That's why he "cut and ran"...

I think America should pull the old Republican trick and seize all of their assets. Bush & Cheney and the lot of them would make a nice clump of change for America. It's already starting to happen. I watched America break down Tricky Dick Nixon, and impeach him and his staff of crooks. Nixon resigned and couldn't finish his terms; because of what was siad by him and Billy Grahm. Yes I said Billy Grahm, he was involved just like what is going on right now. Billy Grahm was Nixons spiritual advisor at the time. So America has already had plenty of experience with people, places and things like this. We will just open back up all the play books, and it will be business as usual. Bush wont make it to November now, since he has broken the ice on the American people, and now the Latinos. That was really brilliant!!! Ha Ha Ha!!!! Impeach Bush and the rest of the warmongers.

he would probably get a lot more done... would it be what we wanted him to do?... probably not, but still... he would probably be much more active than Bush...

I've already heard mention that some investigation of Bush's conduct in office will probably be instituted in the future. Right now the Dems are savoring their win and will proceed slowly at first. Don't look for too much rhetoric about this investigation until after the Dems take control in January. We still have two months of a lame duck Republican congress to endure.

I think he will do just fine. He's got a great personality and a great attitude. He enjoys what he's doing. That's half the battle. When you enjoy your job, you tend to stay at it longer, plus you do a better job. It will be exciting to see what he turns out in the next few months. <*)))><

Most definitely improved training.\n\nMost definitely a review of the politics and why people can't get the jobs (or even interviews) that they've applied for internally.  Not even a courtesy letter explaining that someone else was more qualified.\n\nMore exit interviews.\n\nA gym.\n\nA day-care on site.\n\nA better eat-in onsite.\n\nMore security patrolling the parking decks/levels.\n\nA lot more respect and a lot less of the "good-ol'boy" system.\n\nA lot less nepotism.

He did his undergrad at Yale and got an MBA from Harvard. I'm sure his family connections helped him get in, but while I've only heard President Bush talk about business or economics a couple of times, I can tell from my own business and economics training that he knows what he's talking about in those areas. He's just not very well spoken, in general.

Bush is very effective at this.  You can only go to his functions if you agree with and worship him.  Everyone gets background checks months in advance.  He has a script to read and every person in the audience who gets to ask a question has their part of the script.  Bush can't think on his feet or at all really, so he would never be able to answer somebody's question if he didn't already have the correct Public Relations answer.  \n\nOther elected officials do this somewhat, but not to the same level as Bush.  He lives in a fantasy land in his presidency.  \n\nAlso, I have a feeling if you didn't ask your scripted question, you'd be taken secretly to Guatanamo Bay as a 'terrorist'.

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.

You are making fun of the CIA, next to God they have more power, you are going to be soooo busted. If you get to talk directly to Bush tell him I don't like him. Good Luck
