More than half a million deaths, an army trapped in the largest military debacle since Vietnam, a Middle East policy already buried in the sands of Mesopotamia - and still George W Bush is in denial.
How does he do it? How does he persuade himself - as he apparently did in Amman yesterday - that the United States will stay in Iraq "until the job is complete"?
The "job" - Washington's project to reshape the Middle East in its own and Israel's image - is long dead, its very neoconservative originators disavowing their hopeless political aims and blaming Bush, along with the Iraqis of course, for their disaster.

Like Hitler and Brezhnev, Bush is in denial

I am no longer convinced that the US military can win, and thus I am beginning to believe that Bush erred in conducting this war. However, I blame the tyrants among the Sunni and Shia Arab populations. The Kurdish population has proven that regardless of various Bush mistakes, the combination of Bush I and Bush ii military actions provided any sensible population with all it needed to produce an independent, prosperous civilization.
However deluded Bush may be, the difference between him and Hitler/USSR leaders is what they sought. Bush sought to replace a tyranny with a free civilization, the opposite of what Hitler and the USSR leaders did.
