Achilles Heel
I hope the definitive unraveling has begun. The otherwise seemingly impervious Bush White House (BWH) is showing signs of losing the iron clad discipline that made the BWH first term so notorious. Condi's State Department is going down the toilet. Scowcroft is getting the boot. Apparently he rebuked Bush about Iraq and the latter (not surprisingly) didn't receive it very well. Bush is continuing his dissent squashing with Condi (his "unsticker") running State and through Cheney's command is purifying that department. "On The Couch" is relevant here: Bush is rejecting his Father's political loyal guard and forming his own neocon A team. Baker is now apparently fuming. That clinches the situation: old and new Rebulicans are beginning to separate; the fracturing has begun. Hopefully, the Bush half will fall into the veritable Sea of Political Has-beens.
