One of the situations I hate most in life is when someone tells a joke that is not really funny or they say something is is just blatently wrong. It's not that I think anything less of them or anything (God knows, I say stupid things too), it's just what do you say?

Well, after the president "forgot" recent world history of which he was an integral part, and said that the war in Iraq started because Saddam Hussein would not let the inspectors in (which, in fact, he did...to much news coverage), Dana Priest and Dana Milbank of the Washington Post were able to report on His Retardness with calm, candor, and tact:

Bush said the CIA's doubts about the charge -- that Iraq sought to buy "yellowcake" uranium ore in Africa -- were "subsequent" to the Jan. 28 State of the Union speech in which Bush made the allegation. Defending the broader decision to go to war with Iraq, the president said the decision was made after he gave Saddam Hussein "a chance to allow the inspectors in, and he wouldn't let them in."

Bush's position was at odds with those of his own aides, who acknowledged over the weekend that the CIA raised doubts that Iraq sought to buy uranium from Niger more than four months before Bush's speech.

The president's assertion that the war began because Iraq did not admit inspectors appeared to contradict the events leading up to war this spring: Hussein had, in fact, admitted the inspectors and Bush had opposed extending their work because he did not believe them effective.

"Appeared to contradict the avents leading up to the war..." Wow, that is good. I don't think I could refrain and call the President a retard like I did above. hmph.
