George W. Bush admits that he made a "miscalculation of what the conditions would be" in Iraq. So far that "miscalculation" has killed some 13,714 Iraqis, at least 131 "coalition" members", and, oh yes, 971 U.S. soldiers. (Actually, you probably better click on the bold links above to check for the most current numbers.)
But wait! There's more! The "miscalculation" Bush admitted to is not the one where he invaded a sovereign nation without reason or provocation. No, this "miscalculation" was the unintended by-product of a "swift victory" against Saddam Hussein, which allowed a lot of bad guys to get away instead of waiting around for us to kill them.
You see, the whole mess in Iraq is Hussein's fault for not putting up more of a fight. George W. Bush told me so.
By the way, the definition of a "delusion" is a "false belief strongly held in spite of invalidating evidence, especially as a symptom of psychosis." And what is psychosis? A mental disorder characterized by a loss of contact with reality causing deterioration of normal social functioning.
Given that, it's not at all surprising that the lead of the New York Times story below is that Bush says he believes John Kerry when it comes to Vietnam.
