Bush Spin on Intelligence

Bush continues to create his own reality. Haven't we had enough?

From The Progressive Daily Beacon:

To say George W. Bush's attempt at spinning the findings of both the leaked and released versions of his very own National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) was surreal, would be an understatement. The President's bungled and often irrational responses were in stark contrast to the once cocksure, often arrogant, and swaggering persona of bygone days. His answers to questions contradicted the agreed upon and summarized results contained in the NIE that is written for him by the nation's 16 intelligence agencies. The discrepancy between spin and reality was, perhaps, best summarized by the lead paragraph in an Associated Press report that stated, "President Bush on Tuesday said it is naive and a mistake to think that the war with Iraq has worsened terrorism, as a key portion of a national intelligence assessment by his own administration suggests."
