Writing The Wrongs, Bush was a incompetent fool thinking he was president.

Lawrence D. Freedman 2006

From Page 3

It points to Cheney as the evil genius behind the war (a belief that is now almost received wisdom) and suggests the condition that made Cheney's influence possible: Bush's chronic lack of curiosity even about matters dealing with the greatest gamble of his presidency. The account reveals Bush's readiness to live, along with his advisers, in a make-believe world removed from the dead-serious business they set in motion. Bush's insouciance created the space in which Cheney and Rumsfeld could operate; part of Packer's account is about the two men's efforts to deny others entry into this space

Bush is like a spoiled child, make a mess and let the nanny clean it up never admitting or having to admit he made the mess. Cheney and the crew took power and ran everything using Bush as the pawn that never did anything except allowing the country to be ransacked from wars to war profiteering allowing $billions to disappear, a disgraceful administration from beginning to end, what a legacy.
