by a number of objective measures (with the exception of speech patterns), the only logical conclusion is that Bush possesses an above-average intelligence. for myself, i believe that Bush is capable of learning to speak well... but simply chooses not to.
for example, both he and his father both say "nukuler" in place of "nuclear". it simply takes a single reminder to inform anyone that they've pronounced the word wrong, but both Bush's continually say the word in error on the world stage. it's either a calculated tactic or something they choose to ignore.

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
