Has the Bush Doctrine failed?

More fodder:
Latest zogby poll indicates of the 1,104 likely voters polled, almost half are morons.
UT: GWB and his admin were terrific at spin. Since his initial speechwriter left, they've been having some difficulty (which hasn't been helped by the little issue of the spin having NO relation to reality for six years).
Also, it didn't take much to scare the American people into action (any action) after 9/11. Lots and lots of people were afraid of terruhrists coming and blowing shit up in the US again (to which I say, suck it up).
The point of this little bit of oddity is: GWB & Co. didn't have to be master manipulators to start a war shortly after 9/11. They could be stupid about their reasoning (which they were) by implying a link between AQ and SH which would scare the US electorate into supporting the invasion. The politicians could smell which way the wind was blowing (in 2003), and hopped on the bandwagon to war. Now that the excrement is hitting the other wall from the other fan, they're jumping ship again. That's enough mixed metaphors for now. What do you disagree with?
