When Bush insisted to Tim Russert, "I'm a war president," in a February 2004 interview on Meet the Press, who knew that Bush was not only discussing his war in Iraq (and the pulling of troops in Afghanistan in order to prosecute the unnecessary war in Iraq) and his administration's desire to follow Iraq with a pre-emptive war with Iran (while allowing North Korea to harbor the same nuclear intentions), but Bush's statement also meant to address the nation's unadulterated support for Israel and loose definitions of ceasefires (or no ceasefires at all).

As an MBA colleague of mine once said, "War means jobs, baby!" (I shit you not. In fact, if I find that email, I will publish it.)
