A friend of mine has a theory that Bush is going to try to follow Reagan and spend the rest of his time in office trying to mend things with Russia. The way the logic goes is that Bush knows things aren't going well in Iraq, and feels deceived and betrayed by his entourage (e.g. Rumsfeld). It's time to worry about the legacy. So he looks around and sees -- his friend, Putin, the good personal relationship with whom is Bush's only real foreign policy success.
