While bushie was making a spectacle of himself last night

This one part really stuck in my mind.

Let's see -- Jim.

Q Thank you, Mr. President. You mentioned the PDB and the assurance you got that the FBI was working on terrorism investigations here. The number they had used was 70. But we learned today in the September 11th hearings that the Acting Director of the FBI at the time says -- now says the FBI tells him that number was wrong, that he doesn't even know how it got into your PDB. And two of the commissioners strongly suggested the number was exaggerated. Have you learned anything else about that report since that time? And do you now believe you were falsely comforted by the FBI?

THE PRESIDENT: No, I heard about that today, obviously, and my response to that was I expect to get valid information. As the ultimate decision-maker for this country, I expect information that comes to my desk to be real and valid. And I presume the 9/11 Commission will find out -- will follow up on his suggestions and his recollection and garner the truth.

That is an important part of the 9/11 Commission's job, is to analyze what went on and what could have, perhaps, been done differently so that we can better secure America for the future. But, of course, I expect to get valid information. I can't make good decisions unless I get valid information.

So... since they have admitted that the information they were presenting to go to war with Iraq wasn't valid, I take this to mean that he admits to making a bad decision. That is, without really admitting it, because of course it is someone else's fault as always.

It set him up for an opportunity to cover his ass with more bullshit evasions

n/t

I heard the prez say that too and, after shitting and changing my pants, the ramifications from that statement sunk in.

It's amazing the guy has blamed a breakdown in intelligence as the cause for 9-11, but he relies on the same groups to provide intelligence on WMD in Iraq. If he were truly concerned about the breakdown in intelligence and were an engaged president - not just some puppet - we'd be seeing sweeping changes in policy and personnel in the intelligence community.

:hi:

no text required, bush is a fricking bozo, in fact, bozo is an insult to bozo, how about smart like rock sharp like ball bearing, naw, I do not find it right to insult inanimate objects which have more intelligence the the idiot we have sitting in the whitehouse right now.
