Bush on “Reality”
“Just because the facts on which he based his white-hot rhetoric about Iran possibly sparking World War III have been debunked, W. said with his usual twisted logic, why should his policy change?” [...] “If W. can shape the intelligence to match his faith-based beliefs, as with Iraq, then he will believe the intelligence — no matter how incredible it is. If he can’t shape it to match his beliefs, as with Iran, then he will disregard the intelligence — no matter how credible it is.”
And we wonder why the country doesn’t know left from right anymore?
