This just in...
George Bush is optimistic that the US will prevail in Iraq!
After ranting yesterday about Adam Daifallah (quick, buy your Neocon Spectral Colonics (TM) at these fine locations) and the lack of contact the neocons have with the real world, this was just too much for me to read.
Naturally, like me, Adam has the benefit of being able to complain about things without responsibility for them, not being involved; but poor George can't say "things aren't going well because we screwed up early on", because, well George has a problem admitting he was wrong about stuff. And when he does admit things it's in that evasive "it's okay because we believed there were weapons of mass destruction" kind of way, because really what's important to people that fuck up is not what they did, or the effects of what they did, but what they believed in as they fucked up.
("Sorry about murdering your family, ma'am, but we really thought they were terrorists. We're going to have an investigation to see whether the soldiers believed the wrong things when they pulled the trigger, don't you worry.")
So poor George is left to stand there, emitting positive energy in an effort to either exhort a positive outcome from thin air or at least to stave off electoral defeat by appealing to those weak-minded enough to be assuaged by bleatings of a fraud. Like Adam and Ahmad.

I hadn't actually thought of phrasing things that way before, Paul. I suspect if asked that question he would say something like "a war between the insurgents (tm) and the Iraqi people" or somesuch.
Excellent question.
