Bush, speaking to U.S. forces in Kuwait, gave one of his most optimistic assessments of the war. "There is no doubt in my mind when history [is] written, the final page will say: Victory was achieved by the United States of America for the good of the world," he said.
As I was just saying this morning, two posts ago, eh? (Maybe when history is rewritten, which I guess is pretty much what they're doing as we go along.)
"Iraq is now a different place from one year ago," the president said. "Much hard work remains, but levels of violence are significantly reduced. Hope is returning to Baghdad and hope is returning to towns and villages throughout the country."
Did we not just drop a shitload on Baghdad? We’re in a space warp, aren't we? Okay, he’s in a space warp.
The first U.S. president to visit Bahrain received a splashy welcome. Sword-waving men in flowing robes and headdresses swayed and danced to rhythmic music in a palace courtyard. The president and the king were presented with swords and flashed them skyward.
He must have wet his pants in a thrill.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
Update: Oh yeah. W3IAI has pictures.
