RNC chair says Iraq was Bush's greatest failure

From Ben Smith:

The Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Mike Duncan, said President Bush's early prosecution of the Iraq war was his biggest failure in two terms in office.

“I think we failed in the way that, originally, we were prosecuting the war," Duncan said at a debate with five rivals for the chairmanship.

Of course, not to be outdone, one of the lead candidates for the RNC chair job, former Maryland Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele, said that Bush's biggest failure wasn't the war, Katrina, and the economic mess, but rather the "failure to communicate on the war, Katrina, the bailout."

Yes, if only Bush had written better press releases about Katrina, Iraq and the economy, everything would have gone so much better.
