Dick the Optimist

I came across this fun bit from a Juan Williams interview of President Bush on NPR:

MR. WILLIAMS: Well, another question about Vice President Cheney – he said last week that – here I'm quoting – "we've encountered enormous successes and we continue to have enormous successes in Iraq." Two weeks ago you said, quote, "there hadn't been enough success in Iraq." So it sounds like there's a conflicting message there.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Oh, I don't think so. I think that the vice president is a person reflecting a half-glass-full mentality, and that is he's been able to look at – as have I, and I hope other Americans have – the fact that the tyrant was removed, 12 million people voted, there is an Iraqi constitution in place that is a model for – and unique for the Middle East.


That nutty Dick, he's just walking on the sunny side of the street. Juan didn't follow up with what I consider an obvious question -- if everything's going so well in Iraq, why are we sending 20,000 more troops?
