My quick take on Bush tonight

Yes, he was repetitive and seemed distracted by the whole affair. But it's also reasonable to interpret him as single-minded and focused on the task at hand. Really, he boiled it down to the following:
1.) Iraq is a threat to the United States
2.) As President, he is sworn to protect the United States
Ergo, 3.) He must remove the threat in Iraq
Furthermore 4.) Before it grows beyond our control

If you agree with #1, it's really hard to knock the rest of the syllogism. Also, you can't deny that Dubya has a vision: a world free from the kind of regimes that bring about 9/11s.
