[White House, Iraq]

Press Conference.

Listening to Bush's press conference (currently happening as I write this), two things are becoming obvious with Bush's new PR campaign of "candor." First, he gave a number of tells that he's deluded himself as much as he hopes to delude us (we see this through bizarre logic and Freudian slips). Second, he's starting to drop many clues about the extent to which he's willing to go to to see his delusion through. It's his grandest faith-based initiative yet. More analysis once I can get ahold of the transcript.

Fascinating stuff.
