Update on Yesterday's post

Yesterday, I mentioned that Michael Moore might not be our best spokesman, based on his O'Reilly interview and his insistence on calling Bush a liar. My strategy, on the other hand, would be to call on Bush to take responsibilty for the demonstrable errors on his watch rather than to keep blaming others.

Of course, I didn't mean to imply that Bush isn't a liar. He is.
[N]o matter how much defensive spin spews from the White House, the Bush administration cannot escape the documented fact that it was clearly warned before the war that its rationale for invading Iraq was weak.

Top administration officials repeatedly ignored warnings that their assertions about Iraq’s supposed Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and connections to al Qaeda were overstated. In some cases, they were told their claims were wholly without merit, yet they went ahead and made them anyway. Even the Senate report admits that the White House “misrepresented” classified intelligence by eliminating references to contradictory assertions.

In short, they knew they were misleading America.

And they did not care.
Just to make that clear.
