Heh, heh. As with Afghanistan, he's made a complete mess of it, and is looking to others to bail him, and the US, out.

"The man who gave the world jitters with his "let's go it alone", "you're either with us or against us", "smoke 'em out!" rhetoric and who peppered his speeches with words like pre-emption, evil and axis has turned out to be a soft centred, fuzzy-lipped moderate who cannot stop talking about globalisation, inter-dependence, nation building and the UN."

The idea, George, is to NOT get into the messes. How're gonna explain all this to the families of the dead? I mean, lying about WMDs, no "democracy", a destabilized Middle East, higher prices for energy, ALL the things predicted.

And, by the way, NONE of the things you, Cheney and Rumsfeld predicted.

And now expecting a bailout from the world you scorned. If I don't miss my bet, you will demand it, and then blame the ROW when the situation deteriorates to the point you HAVE to acknowledge failure. 'Cause of others.
