Has the Bush Doctrine failed?

Analysts say conflicts in the Middle East have halted aggressive US policy, and may hint at end of West's military superiority.

I think the "analysts" are confused. They are equating the US Military's capabilities with the bumbling of Bush & Rumsfeld. That's like saying a gun isn't effective because they guy holding it can't shoot. The problem is easily fixed by changing the shooter which is a whole lot easier than redesigning the gun.
