In a telling reflection of Bush's erosion in public support, 54% said they did not trust him to "make the right decision about whether we should go to war with Iran," while 42% of respondents said they trusted him to do so.In the words of a very wise man, “Fool me once, shame on…shame on you… Fool me…can’t get fooled again.”
That was a reversal of public sentiment since 2003, on the eve of Bush's decision to invade Iraq, when 55% of respondents said they trusted him to make the right decision over whether to go to war.
I know it’s really liberal-traitor of me and everything, but nonetheless I’d like to point out that a country whose majority doesn’t trust its president to make the right decisions about war is a country in grave danger indeed.
