The Pods man has simply written a very long article which says, essentially, that "everyone" (who counts, according to the Pods man) was wrong about WMD, so just because Bush was wrong, and just because he was wrong about something he really wanted to be wrong about (because it is quite obvious he wanted the war quite a long time before the war-fairy actually granted his wish), does not mean he "lied". I don't see how that matters all that much. Wrong is wrong, I don't care how many people are wrong with you. If you blow up the world because you were wrong, you are still a putz for being wrong. If you just blow up Iraq for being wrong, still a putz. I know the Pres seems to think it's really awful that people who were originally wrong with him, have now decided they don't particularly like the decision they made when they had the wrong information. Bush apparently likes to stay the course, even when the course was laid with faulty information. Go figure. If the captain of a ship is heading for the rocks, because he laid in the wrong course, I think I want a captain who "flip flops" - or as we say in my universe, CORRECTS his F*CKING mistakes. Bush doesn't understand why you might need to correct a mistake, but I think almost everyone else in the US does. No doubt we will see some correcting in the next few elections :-) Bush probably still won't get it.
