RENO, Nev., Aug. 28 — President Bush told a receptive audience of veterans on Tuesday that an American withdrawal from Iraq would unsettle the entire Middle East, create a haven for Al Qaeda and embolden a belligerent Iran. He said Tehran’s nuclear programs threatened to put “a region already known for instability and violence under the shadow of a nuclear holocaust.”
Speaking here before the American Legion’s annual convention, Mr. Bush said competing brands of Islamic extremism — the Sunni model exemplified by Al Qaeda and a Shiite version that he said was abetted by Iran — were vying for dominance in Iraq.
That, he said, made it imperative for the United States not to fail in establishing a pro-American government there.
“I want our citizens to consider what would happen if these forces of radicalism are allowed to drive us out of the Middle East,” he said in a speech interrupted several times by applause. “The region would be dramatically transformed in a way that would imperil the civilized world.”

None of this is true, but he's not lying. He's just talking out his arse, which is WAY different.
:tfh: I sure hope we stay in Iraq. I don't want to get nuked. :tfh:
