Do you keep Bush or let him go

Page history last edited by PBworks 16 years, 11 months ago

 

 

You've come into the United States looking at the commander in chief. Do you keep him or let him go?

 

    • Governor Mitt Romney: The commander in chief, that's the president. So you change the commander in chief, of course, but if you're talking about the secretary of defense...

 

    • George Stephanopoulos: As you know, if you were looking at the job President Bush has done as commander in chief, from the perspective of a management consultant.

 

    • Governor Mitt Romney: Well, you have to look at Iraq and Iraq was superbly executed in terms of taking down Saddam Hussein's government. But I think everybody recognizes, from the president to Tony Blair to Secretary Rumsfeld that post the period of major conflict, we had major problems in the way we've managed the war in Iraq, and that has contributed to much of the difficult we have today.

 

It was under-planned, under-prepared, under-staffed, too low a level of troops, under-managed.

 

I mean, everyone has their own view. My own decision-making process is a very inclusive process. I like to get a lot of people with strong, divergent viewpoints, who will express their viewpoints openly, who will gather data, who come in not just saying what they believe, but lay out the data.

 

And on that basis, you find the pros and the cons, the upsides, the downsides, the risks and then you say, "What do we have to do to make sure that the risk doesn't happen?"

 

And in this case, the downside risk with the multiple ethnicities in Iraq suggested that bad things could happen, particularly given the borders, as well, as you needed a lot of troops there to keep those things from happening.
