That was exactly how I saw it. He liked the status and prestige of being president and he could say, "Look Daddy, I'm not such a fuckup after all." 9/11 really screwed things up big time and cut into his golf game.

I do believe that because of his father, he did have one item on his agenda, take out Saddam. He was rather like a child playing a board game, with god on his side of course.
