The need to reorient a Cold War era military establishment to take into account post-Cold War realities has been and continues to be an agenda item for the current administration. Bush 41 and Clinton failed in many ways to wrest control away from bureaucratic minded senior military officers that had become risk aversive to the point of undermining the ability to project and protect U.S. interests. Over the course of Bush’s first term and what is expected to continue during the second term, Bush and his hand-selected staff have worked to bring a slow changing military bureaucracy into new realities.

Bush nonetheless won reelection in 2004, by a surprising popular and Electoral College vote majority over Massachusetts Senator John Kerry.1 Indeed, Bush won the first popular vote majority since his father’s win over another Massachusetts liberal, Michael Dukakis, in 1988.
