There is a well-known military truism floating around that states that no plan ever survives contact with the enemy*. Perhaps Bush is attempting to thwart that logic by having no plan at all.

In that vein, the video over there on that blog gets funnier to me each time I watch it. And every time I watch it, I realize it is true that George Bush is Leeroy Jenkins.

If you’re not into all those fancy online games**, I’ll summarize the video for you. A group of warriors, facing enormous odds against a vastly superior foe, devises a plan to retrieve something of value from the opposition. As the plan is finalized, one member of the group decides to storm the castle on his own, to the demise of the entire group. That overly zealous feller’s name is Leeroy Jenkins, and his inability to listen to reason is supremely analogous to Bush’s handling of foreign policy.
