This page covers the actions of George W. Bush's administration while he was President of the United States.

Personnel

  • George W. Bush, President
  • Dick Cheney, Vice-President
  • Karl Rove, advisor/strategist and Deputy Chief of Staff
  • Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense
  • former personnel
    • Lewis Libby, former Chief of Staff and assistant for National Security Affairs to Dick Cheney; resigned 2005-10-28 after being indicted on criminal felony charges for obstruction of justice, perjury (2 counts), and making false statements (2 counts).
    • John Ashcroft, former U.S. Attorney General; resigned 2005-02-03, stating "The objective of securing the safety of Americans from crime and terror has been achieved."

Actions

Editorial note: the following list is for actions attributable to members of GWB's administration or which, at the very least, took place under his watch, with no noticeable protest or apology from him, and therefore presumably met his approval. Acts which are more or less directly attributable to GWB himself should be listed on his page.

Opinion

  • 2005-11-24 The long march of Dick Cheney (by Sidney Blumenthal, in Salon.com): "The hallmark of the Dick Cheney administration is its illegitimacy. Its essential method is bypassing established lines of authority; its goal is the concentration of unaccountable presidential power."
  • 2005-10-17 issue of Newsweek: On K Street Conservatism by George F. Will: "The fact that none of those responsible for the postwar planning, or lack thereof, in Iraq have been sacked suggests – no, shouts – that in Washington today there is no serious penalty for serious failure."
