Bush speaks out

I find it really sad that a former President has to speak out against a sitting President, but what can he do? He obviously felt the need to address issues like Iran, the financial crisis, health care reform, capitalism, and Guantanamo Bay because very few of his fellow republicans are stepping up to the plate and denouncing the policies that are not in the best interest of our country.
Instead of Bush and Cheney out defending the conservative ideals, they should only have to say that they agree with the Republican leadership. So where is the leadership?
