George W. Bush doesn't get irony

Bush at a Republican fundraiser today:

"Our men and women in uniform risk their lives to carry out our plan to support this new democracy and to secure Baghdad," Bush said. "And wherever members may stand on my decision, we have a solemn responsibility to give our troops the resources and the flexibility they need to prevail."

Give the troops what they need? Like they do at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, which is just two miles from the National Building Museum, the site of Bush's speech?

Bush definitely doesn't grasp the concept of irony.
