Hmmm. Perhaps the president has taken a tip from this guy on the power of positive thinking?
"President Bush said Monday that U.S. progress in Iraq is making insurgents more 'desperate' and spurring attacks such as the bombings at the international Red Cross headquarters and four police stations across Baghdad that killed dozens of people.
"'The more progress we make on the ground, the more free the Iraqis become, the more electricity that's available, the more jobs are available, the more kids that are going to school, the more desperate these killers become,' Bush told reporters at the White House."
