Ace, this book picks sides in the old stupid/corrupt debate. This book alleges strongly that Bush is far too stupid to be president. Host argues that he's too corrupt to be president. Either way you go on this one, Bush shouldn't be in the oval office.
I think another possibility, as suggested in the excerpts I have read, is that Bush failed from a PR point of view and more specifically McClellan feels that Bush's advisors failed. He seems to suggest that there were reasons held for going to war that were not communicated openly and honestly. I disagree. I clearly understood our rational for war in Iraq. I clearly heard Bush communicate the rational for war in Iraq.

I think the "stupid" part would apply to those who supported going to war and were against going to war at the same time.
