Excerpt--
Much has already been said about national security adviser Condoleezza
Rice's "new" responsibility for coordinating the reconstruction of Iraq, but there is at least one very significant observation
left to be made: This event signifies the failure of the Bush administration's basic overall model for managing national security.
...

is organized in a manner that reflects not only the priorities of its president but also the president's operational style.

Looting the Future

Excerpt--
... The prevailing
theory among grown-up Republicans — yes, they still exist — seems to be that Mr. Bush is simply doing whatever
it takes to win the next election. After that, he'll put the political operatives in their place, bring in the policy experts
and finally get down to the business of running the country.
But I think they're in
denial. Everything we know suggests that Mr. Bush's people have given as little thought to running America after
the election as they gave to running Iraq after the fall of Baghdad. And they will have no idea what to do when things fall
