VARGAS: So let me make sure I understand you. No matter what happens with the level of sectarian violence, the U.S. troops will stay there?

BUSH: The U.S. troops will stay there so long as — until the Iraqis can defend themselves. I mean, my policy has not changed.

Joe Haldeman becomes more accurate by the day.

I like this one:

VARGAS: There's been a lot of sectarian violence. What is the policy if, in fact, a civil war should break out or the sectarian violence continues?

BUSH: I don't buy your premise that there's going to be a civil war.

Answer the f---ing question! Don't think we won't notice.

Speaking of Haldeman's prognostication, anybody ever read this one?

Reading it in late 2004 was really, really scary. It's kinda his version of "Contact," only updated with Dubya-era politics.
