I guess in your world it's "sour grapes" when you don't have amnesia about what was believed about Saddam in 2003 by Republicans, Democrats, Americans, Britains, French and German intelligence services...and oh yes the "slam dunk" CIA, the same CIA that didn't have a clue about Saddams nuke program in 1991 or Libya's in 2003.

So the CIA begins squealing "the Bushies forced us to give them false reports" and the NYT eats it up, and suddenly Bush is painted as simultaneously so Machievallian as to take the country to war on a lie, and so stupid that instead of picking some Gulf of Tonkin incident that can be covered up, he picks WMDs which will be blown wide open the second US troops get into the country. Gee, you'd have thought he'd have stressed some other reasons a bit more if he knew the WMD thing was a lie, now wouldn't he? Is GW Bush the only pol in the world too stupid to have a sense of self-preservation?

This is what the soi-disant "reality based community" now believes.
