Bush's Echo Chamber By BOB HERBERT olin Powell, who urged the president to think more deeply about the consequences of invading Iraq, is being shoved toward the exit. And Condoleezza Rice, who blithely told America, "We don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud," is being ushered in to take his place. Competence has never been highly regarded by the fantasists of the George W. Bush

HE WON. LIVE WITH IT, FOR NOW. In no time at all, Bush will be the lamest of ducks. November 9, 2004 -- It's time to get over it. We've had our week of mourning, and there is no shame in losing a presidential election by .001 of the national electorate -- the equivalent of 136,483 misguided Ohioans. More important, there is no room for a crippling depression on the part of Democrats while the
