Another Bush delusion

From Think Progress we find out more about Bush's beliefs from the book "Dead Certain: The Presidency of George W. Bush" by Robert Draper.

The U.S. Intelligence Agencies admitted in 2004 that Saddam had not had any WMD's. However
Though it was not the sort of thing one could say publicly anymore, the president still believed that Saddam had possessed weapons of mass destruction. He repeated this conviction to Andy Card all the way up until Card’s departure in April 2006, almost exactly three years after the Coalition had begun its fruitless search for WMDs. [p. 388]
This is the man who says that he is America's 'decider.' As I pointed out earlier he said
"And in apparent reference to the invasion of Iraq, he [Bush}continued, “This group-think of ‘we all sat around and decided’ — there’s only one person that can decide, and that’s the president."
Bush is a man who suffers from delusions, and he is also the man who will ultimately decide if the U.S. has to attack Iran.

Bush and Cheney are rumored to have directed the start of a propaganda effort to justify an attack on Iran. See White House to insanely market another war.
Just because a proposed action is insane does not mean that some supporters might not consider it useful to them. Both the Bush administration in the U.S. and the administration of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are both losing support inside their respective nations.

Bush and Cheney are both willing to take on ideas others consider not only wrong and unworkable, but even insane. Both consider disagreement to be disloyalty. They ignore both expert opinion and the experts themselves. Mahmoud Ahmadinehad has a reputation for similar behavior. Both are in political trouble at home, and both appear likely to run the risk of another war just to maintain power.

The rumors of the roll-out of another effort to market a war need to be considered seriously.
Can Bush come out of his delusional fog long enough to realize that a war with Iran will be a disaster? I seriously doubt it.
