Transcript and video of the exchange at the link. Josh Marshall and John Amato at Crooks and Liars have also called attention to this little display of ambulatory brain death. Bush asserts that war is peace, and demonstrates not only that his ignorance provides him strength, but Republican stupidity is invincible.
