maybe it's all just a joke?
as usual comedians expose the soft underbelly of the beast:

"President Bush announced tonight that he believes in democracy and that democracy can exist in Iraq. They can have a strong economy, they can have a good health care plan, and they can have a free and fair voting. Iraq? We can't even get this in Florida." -Jay Leno

"President Bush has said that he does not need approval from the UN to wage war, and I'm thinking, well, hell, he didn't need the approval of the American voters to become president, either." -David Letterman

"When the Democrats pointed out that President Bush's budget creates a 1 trillion dollar deficit, the White House quickly responded with 'Hey, look over there, it's Saddam Hussein.'" -Craig Kilborn

"The president boasted at the top of his press conference that we have the support now of Britain and Spain for our attack on Iraq. You know, when you want to make it perfectly clear to the world that you're not an imperialist, the people you want in your corner are Britain and Spain." -Bill Maher

americans will look back on the bush presidency as an exercise in futility.
