thanks, I feel much better now

You really have to hear this to get the full force of his “confidence,” but here is Bush at today’s press conference, conveying his feelings about how things are going in Iraq:

I am confident – or I believe; I'm optimistic – we'll succeed.

Update: The press conference video is now up. See that confidence-ie-ness for yourself.
