Bush has a warped mindset.

In a recent 60 Minutes interview with journalist Bob Woodword, Bush's real idea of "success" is revealed. Woodward has recently published a book called The War Within which is comprised of over 150 interviews with White House officials including President Bush himself. Bush has always claimed that he listens to exactly what his generals advise him to do. That can't be true because apparently top generals do not want to add any more brigades in Baghdad. However, Bush insists on sending more troops because he feels not enough people on the Iraqi side are dying. Woodward reports that in one conversation Bush goes so far as to say "We're not playing for a tie" to Casey George, who is stationed in Baghdad. Woodward makes many people's suspicions of Bush's thoughts into solid realities. We are no longer trying to help Iraq, that is, if we ever truly were trying, we are simply trying to win. And to Bush, winning is only measured by a body count.
