Bush Hits Back at Kerry Charge Over Explosives nytimes.com

I leave you with just an excerpt from this one, in which it is revealed, to W's credit if not to the credit of the warblogosphere, the wild inventions of said warblogosphere are "scenarios", not exactly the same as "facts" , though probably close enough in the looking-glass-world "facts and logic" sense ever popular around here. Of course, one might wonder if the US army in Iraq might have better things to do than investigate various "scenarios" invented by the warblogosphere, but nevermind.

"Our military is now investigating a number of possible scenarios, including that the explosives may have been moved before our troops even arrived at the site," Mr. Bush told thousands of Republicans at an airport rally in Lancaster County, Pa., his first stop of a day that took him through three states.

"This investigation is important and it's ongoing," he said, "and a political candidate who jumps to conclusions without knowing the facts is not a person you want as your commander in chief."


Then there's the added irony of old "I never said imminent threat" W preaching about jumping to conclusions, but on the other hand, by all indications, he really, really wanted a war in Iraq well before 9/11 , so the statute of limitations may be up on that particular jump.
