Meanwhile: on another issue Bush acknowledges failure to find WMD may
complicate the confrontation of other potential emerging threats.

On another issue, Bush acknowledged that a pre-war failure of intelligence — claiming Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction — has complicated the U.S. ability to confront other potential emerging threats such as Iran.

"Where it is going to be most difficult to make the case is in the public arena," Bush said. "People will say, if we're trying to make the case on Iran, `Well, if the intelligence failed in Iraq, therefore, how can we trust the intelligence on Iran."

1. What asses he and his cronies are!
On one hand, of course it's going to be questioned! But the broader picture is two-fold: He and his henchmen have relied on the wrong intelligence after receiving two opposing sets of intelligence; it was all there... and... he can't tell the difference.

Yes, I know, he can tell the difference but chooses to go with the bad because it supports his efforts.

Watch the bastard squirm. I'm so sick of him.

4. That's right! He's used "wrong" intelligence yet he spies on Americans!
Even if that was legal, how do we know he'll use that intelligence "correctly?" AT BEST, he's grossly incompetent, and that's without all the illegalities!

5. Exactly
Either he is grossly incompetent or grossly negligent or grossly felonious! Pick your poison. This is what we have leading our country... finger on the big red button and all. Just great.

I really hope we get to see him try to wiggle out of all this. I want to see him suffer. I feel badly about that because I don't normally enjoy the sight of human suffering (I'm just to damned empathetic), but this guy has caused so much suffering in the world that I really would enjoy seeing him suffer. Just look at what that sick bastard has done to me. Jeebus!

3. Shepherd boy admits the villagers unlikely to pay attention to "Wolf!"
Newsflash: People don't tend to believe habitual liars!
