Bush Policy-Making
It has long been evident that the actions of the George W. Bush administration are taken as the result of a backwards procedure of policy-making. The objective of each action comes to Bush as a "vision" from deep inside him. Then policy is made to comply with that vision.
The administration has selected senior officials who are willing to be Bush's "yes-men." These sycophants include Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powell, and Tony Snow. I'm not sure whether Donald Rumsfeld belongs to that category, or to the special category led by Vice President Cheney -- sources of Bush's inspirations. In any case, the policy makers in the administration have taken their cues from Bush when he has set a course based on the guidance of his infallible spiritual or behind the scenes mortal sources.
