I don't see why this is any different from what he's been saying all along. He blamed the CIA but gave Tenet the medal of freedom and it's still clear that he didn't care then and still doesn't care about justifying anything his little tin heart desires.

Bush's sociopathy and total disregard for the consequences of his actions come across to some as steadfastness. It's completely bizarre.

"To lie means to say something one knows to be false," Podhoretz asserts. "But it is as close to certainty as we can get that Bush believed in the truth of what he was saying about WMD in Iraq."

I agree with Podhoretz. But before you think I have gone over to the Neocon Dark Side, allow me to explain. Indeed, it is possible, more than likely, Bush did not tell a series of lies. His neocon advisers did. Bush is a cardboard cut-out placed in office by the neocons. He is a cigar store Indian. He simply repeated the lies served up by the neocons and the Office of Special Plans. Due to his disinterest, his lack of curiosity, his distaste for reading, and absence of critical intelligence, Bush does little more than fumble through the provided script. Bush "believed in the truth of what he was saying" because he lives in a dualistic, Manichean world of radical absolutes, and thus is incapable of critical assessment. Moreover, he had long ago decided to attack Iraq and left it up to more intelligent neocons to provide a bogus basis for the attack.
