Bush and Churchill

Toward the end of Larisa Alexandrovna's important story about the preparations for war, we find the following nugget:
"[President] Bush thinks that history will judge him as a great leader, not unlike Winston Churchill," one former high-ranking military intelligence official remarked.
Churchill wrote The History of the English Speaking Peoples. My sources tell me that Bush intends to write his own version, just as soon as he learns to speak English.

I’m not entirely sure that Churchill is the greatest example to aspire to. Winnie was a competent writer, thanks to a journalistic background. He was, above all, a great actor, even inspirational. As for substance, he was probably on a level with ‘dead eye’ Dick Cheney.
