From the AP:

“I wouldn’t ask a mother or a dad — I wouldn’t put their son in harm’s way if I didn’t believe this was necessary for the security of the United States and the peace of the world,” Bush said. “I strongly believe it, and I strongly believe we’ll prevail.”

Oh my gosh. I just … I don’t know what to say. I feel like such an idiot. I’ve made a big, BIG mistake. I’m man enough to admit when I’m wrong, and boy oh boy, was I wrong about this one. See, I didn’t realize that he strongly believes we’ll prevail. All these years, I assumed that Bush thought the war was unnecessary for the security of the United States. Now that he says something, of course, it’s totally obvious. He really, strongly believes we’ll prevail. Why would I ever question that? Oh, sure, there are those who might say that every thing he’s done since setting foot in the White House has been orchestrated to destroy our democracy and hasten the apocalypse, but those people must not be reading the Associated Press, because our president just made it perfectly clear that he believes we will prevail. My ability for logic and reasoning have failed me. I’m going to go enlist.
