Sleeping in Wartime

Back in 2003, a few days after the invasion of Iraq, George W. Bush ran into Colin Powell in a White House corridor.
President Bush: I'm sleeping like a baby.

Secretary Powell: I'm sleeping like a baby, too. I wake up screaming every two hours.
This is from George Packer, The Unwinding.
