Video of the day

If you missed it, Josh has video of the Bush-Blair press conference in which Bush demonstrates a terrifying lack of understanding about what's really happening on the Middle East. It's worth the five minutes to watch your president spout the same lines -- again -- that bamboozled the public into believing he had an actual plan to "win" the war on terror.

Bush begins his answer thusly, to a question on whether he still believes his Iraq policy was bringing stability, as promised, to the Middle East.

"David, it's an interesting period because, instead of having foreign policies based upon trying to create a sense of stability, we have a foreign policy that addresses the root causes of violence and instability.

For a while, American foreign policy was just, Let's hope everything is calm - kind of, managed calm. But beneath the surface brewed a lot of resentment and anger that was manifested on September the 11th."

Note the new meme of "confronting" the problems, not to be confused with solving them because, you know, 9/11 changed everything..... Frightening stuff. Watch the rest for yourself.
The look on Tony Blair's face alone is worth the view.
