quote: President Bush held up Israel as a model for defining success in Iraq, saying Thursday the U.S. goal there is not to eliminate attacks but to enable a democracy that can function despite violence.

Peace is probably right around the corner, when Arabs embrace the "Two-Israel Policy".

Bush made the boneheaded analogy in a prepared speech. Hard to believe it would have been completely off the cuff.
And the "truthers" think this bunch on nincompoops have been able to keep their 9/11 involvement secret for almost six years?
