[The_Rorschach]

Personally, I believe Bush Sr is the influence behind the Bush decision making. There are entirely too many similarilies in the way their terms have been run for me to comfortably shrug it off as mere coincidence. Furthermore, the way they speak through the media seems an indication that Bush Sr is trying to illustrate his lack of ties to his son's administration publically as to defuse any doubt as to who is truly responsible.

But its just a theory.

I won't be positive of anything unless Jeb runs in the next election - Which he might very well do. His political career is perfectly set for such a manoeuvre.
