Congressman: Why do you think this will work when all previous attempts just like it have failed?

Bush: "Because it has to."

Added bonus, as he admits that democracy in Iraq has only ever been the thinnest pretence: "I said to Maliki this has to work or you’re out"

An extra one from Condoleeza Rice, when asked what the backup plan was: "It's bad policy to speculate on what you'll do if a plan fails when you're trying to make a plan work."

Leaving aside all discussions of what you call the condition of doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, John Rogers points out that the only comparable figure to Bush these days is LEEEROY JENKINS

I belive there was a famous strategy of General Douglas Haig that was explained by Blackadder:

Melchett:       Good man. Now, Field Marshal Haig has formulated a
                brilliant new tactical plan to ensure final victory in the
                field. [they gather around a model of the battlefield]

Blackadder:     Now, would this brilliant plan involve us climbing out of
                our trenches and walking slowly towards the enemy sir?

Darling:        How can you possibly know that Blackadder? It's classified
                information.

Blackadder:     It's the same plan that we used last time, and the
                seventeen times before that.

Melchett:       E-E-Exactly! And that is what so brilliant about it! We
                will catch the watchful Hun totally off guard! Doing
                precisely what we have done eighteen times before is
                exactly the last thing they'll expect us to do this time!
                There is however one small problem.

Blackadder:     That everyone always gets slaughtered the first ten
                seconds.

I think it's been taken up by Shrub.

Well, you know the old saying: hope for the best, plan for--aww, shucks, let's just go fishing.
