George W. Bush, speaking in Cincinnati, Ohio on October 7th, 2002:

We know that the regime has produced thousands of tons of chemical agents, including mustard gas, sarin nerve gas, VX nerve gas.

In his address to the nation on Marth 17th, 2003:

Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised.

On Polish television, May 29, 2003:

But for those who say we haven't found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they're wrong. We found them.

Washington DC, June 9th, 2003:

The credibility of this country is based upon our strong desire to make the world more peaceful and the world is now more peaceful after our decision.

Chicago, Illinois, June 11th, 2003:

Thanks to the bravery of our military, and to friends and allies, the regime of Saddam Hussein is no more. The world is peaceful and free.

Particularly with these last three I am beginning to wonder if Bush isn't actually living in a different universe and merely visiting ours for the occasional press conference. Back in our world violence has been on the rise recently, not peace. Baghdad is ruled by chaos. And despite the invasion being "over" our troops are still dying at a rate of more than one per day (80 dead since April 9, half in fighting, half from accidents). I wonder if world hunger has been cured in Bush's universe?
