Dunno, but he needs to be groomed in the ways of the Neocons. Maybe they'll bring in Cheney again, just to coach. Maybe a nice trip to Israel to confer with Bibi, give a speech to the Knesset. So many possibilities.
That process is already underway!
In recent days we've seen a number of republicans pushing a narrative that should by now be quite familiar. In it they repeat the claims that Sadam was a leader in Al Qaeda, had weapons of mass destruction etc. etc. etc. Also interesting was the news story just a week or so ago about an Iraqi war veteran confronting Karl Rove about the Iraqi war and all the dead from it.
The interesting thing to me wasn't that Rove defended the Iraqi war but the polish with which he did so. I had the feeling this was a setup and an opportunity, more than a decade later, to rewrite history to a public with little memory before breakfast.
My impression is that this is all groundwork for Rove et al to latch onto and groom Jeb for the oval office. First order of business is insulate Jeb from the Iraqi issue by redefining the endeavor as they've always defined it -- to stop the next 9/11. With the dems in the white house these last 8 years they will have an easy time rewriting history to the short attention span electorate!
