Do you ever feel that your intelligence is being insulted?
"Some Democrats who voted to authorize the use of force are now rewriting the past," Bush said. "They're playing politics with this issue and they are sending mixed signals to our troops and the enemy. That is irresponsible."
No Jackass! You're playing politics with war. What is irresponsible is repeatedly lying to the American people about your reasons for the war in Iraq. The White House DID have plenty of evidence that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq from the UN Inspectors and had been told several months prior to Bush's infamous UN Speech that Iraq was not attempting to purchase enriched uranium from Niger. The Republican Party has now been pushed into a corner and will say anything to get out. The Intelligence that was reviewed by congress was provided by the White House, and Congress was told that the vote was to pressure the UN into reinstating inspectors, which it did, but once the inspectors failed to find these weapons, Bush used these powers to go to war anyway.

Great commentary. I agree. Bush is using this rhetoric to bring down the Dems with him. It's political hackery at its best. He's not bright enough, nor Rove focused enough, to succeed in this framing of bullshit.
