Gates delineates Bush's failures.

Because we all know that Our Dear Embattled Leader can not do it himself. Sadly they are all too obvious to anyone who looked. First, ODEL will leave the Mess O' Potamia to his successor, with about 100,000 remaining in the Land Where Osama Ain't. And speaking of Osama, George still hasn't got him, dead or alive, but we all knew that would be the case. There is way too much common ground between the two for George to make that happen. And finally there is still Guantanamo Bay and the prisoners of such high value that they can never be brought to trial. Or even let loose if Gates is to be believed.
"I think that the principal obstacle has been resolving a lot of the legal issues associated with closing Guantanamo and what you do with the prisoners when they come back," he said. "So, I would say that the honest answer is that because of some of these legal concerns ... there has not been much progress in this respect."
Which is a nice way of saying that the legal hazards to the Gitmo perps, of letting the prisoners go, is still too great.
