BUSH SAYS NUCLEAR OPTION TO END IRAQ WAR IS "JUST CRAZY ENOUGH TO WORK"

WASHINGTON - President Bush outlined his "new way forward" to end the Iraq war, and he cryptically referred to its centerpiece as a "nuclear way forward." The President opined that the use of atomic weapons "on selected targets" where sectarian violence is most pronounced in Iraq "is just crazy enough to work." He flashed a crooked smile and told reporters that he was "not at liberty" to elaborate on that statement, but noted that "what I'm about to do is something I should have done at the outset. Just fasten your seat belts and hang on," he smirked.
