He still doesn't get it

Drunky McStagger today, in Tampa:

Moving toward a veto of a war spending bill, President Bush said Tuesday that Democrats who made the legislation a showdown over withdrawing U.S. troops could turn Iraq into a "cauldron of chaos" with their approach.

"Success in Iraq is critical to the security of free people everywhere," Bush said at the headquarters of U.S. Central Command, which oversees military operations in the Middle East, including Iraq.

[...]

The president did not explicitly mention the war funding legislation. But he made clear indirectly how he feels about its requirement that troops begin to be withdrawn by Oct. 1, and defending his policy of not only keeping troops in Iraq, but increasing their numbers.

Bush said that pulling the American presence from Baghdad before Iraqis are capable of defending themselves would have disastrous results — giving al-Qaida terrorists a safe haven from which to operate and an inspiration for new recruits and new attacks.

"Withdrawal would have increased the probability that coalition troops would be forced to return to Iraq one day and confront an enemy that is even more dangerous," he said in remarks to representatives from countries participating in the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq. "Failure in Iraq should be unacceptable to the civilized world."

How much more proof do we need that the man is seriously deluded, or worse? Iraq is already in chaos. What's the opposite of "chaos?" "Order?" Can anyone (other than maybe John McCain, who is equally deluded) verifiably and credibly argue that Iraq is functioning properly and that everything is in order? Or, alternatively, that al-Qaeda isn't already finding Iraq to be a "safe haven?"

No, I didn't think so.

Drunky's doing a fine job of setting up the meme for after the inevitable withdrawal of the troops: blame the Democrats. But I think beyond the mentally unstable 30% or so of the American populace who still believe in this moron (a number that includes many members of the MSM), the public will see through this as a ruse just like so much of the maladministration's policies have been ruses.
