...Bush assassination fable in the Condon spirit would have Dubya in 2007 privately ready to back out of Iraq, only to be stopped by a gunman hired by Bush's old strings-puller, and the new president, Dick Cheney.

Jan Hamilton Powell Chattanooga, Tennessee, U.S. I wholeheartedly agree with TIME's choice of Bush. Dubya's footprints have been large; it is a pity they have mostly been going backward.
