What is far more surprising is the extent to which Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld actually seem to believe in the fantasies they peddle. Auletta quotes Bush as boasting, “No president has ever done more for human rights than I have.” In fact, no president has persisted for so long with his fingers in his ears.

"So we need to adjust our footprint." Just how that footprint will change has yet to be decided, Pentagon officials say. They denied reports last week that up to 40,000 soldiers and support staff with the First Armored Division and First Infantry Division...
