Nothing To See Folks, Move Along

From the NYT,

"There's nothing farther from the truth," Mr. Bush said in his first public comments about the so-called Downing Street memo, which has created anger among the administration's critics who see it as evidence that the president was intent to go to war with Iraq earlier than the White House has said.

"Look, both of us didn't want to use our military," Mr. Bush added. "Nobody wants to commit military into combat. It's the last option."

Mr. Blair, standing at Mr. Bush's side in a joint news conference in the East Room of the White House, said, "No, the facts were not being fixed in any shape or form at all."

Personally I think the horse cock joke was funnier, but I'll let George have his way on this one. If you're still unclear about the Downing Street Memo, which provides a hellishly damning account of Bush and Blair's desires to fix intelligence about Iraq in order to go to war, you should read it. But hey, none of that really matters since whatever Buddy Boy says is true. I'm just waiting for a right wing blog (like... I don't know, maybe Powerline, I just pulled that out of thin air) to come out and echo Bush's assertion that everything in the memo is undeniably false and that it was a Democratic plant in order to wage partisan politics. Because that's never happened before and Powerline is always correct.
