Trouble in paradise?
Irked Prez moves to redo Iraq team
The Monkey-in-a-Flight-Suit seems to be again looking for someone to fall on their sword for this misadministration.
Bush's overhaul of his top Iraq strategists reflects deep unhappiness with his national security team - particularly Donald Rumsfeld but also Secretary of State Powell, Bush sources told the Daily News yesterday.
Bush's displeasure means that neither Powell nor Rumsfeld will keep his job in a second Bush term, the sources said.
Much of Bush's disappointment is directed at Rumsfeld, who is widely seen within the administration to have been more adept at waging war than peace in Iraq.
"The President feels let down," one well-placed source told The News. "He feels as if Rumsfeld was unwilling to come and get help and thinks his inability to trust anyone other than his immediate subordinates created a serious, ongoing problem in both Afghanistan and Iraq."
"Powell has basically absented himself from this situation because he wanted Rumsfeld to fail - and believe me, the President's unhappy about that, too."
Funny, when the Idiot-in-Chief was running, he swore he'd surround himself with good, qualified people. What happens when you can't even control your advisors? Easy: once again, blame everyone but yourself that the situation is so f*cked up. This is leadership?
