Hoo boy, here we go again.

Today Bush was asked about the situation in Iran, and he responded, “As I say, all options are on the table. The use of force is the last option for any president and you know, we’ve used force in the recent past to secure our country.”

My immediate response was twofold:

1) “Secure our country”? How on earth did the invasion of Iraq secure American soil?

2) As if Iraq isn’t enough of a bottomless pit of disaster, we’re going to add Iran to the mix?

After a moment of reflection, however, the answer presented itself.

3) Bush lives in a different reality than I do.
