Bush's Credibility

Bush’s credibility has sunk about as low as Britney Spears' career. In a bombshell (no pun intended), that effectively preempts the administration’s plans to launch a preemptive strike against Iran, America’s intelligence community released its conclusion that Iran suspended its military nuclear program sometime in 2003. The Bush administration was aware of this assessment, yet the president continued to insist that Iran was risking WWIII if it didn’t suspend its military nuclear program. Thus, the White House was forced into to the embarrassing position of having to claim: 1) the president wasn’t aware of the National Intelligence Estimate widely circulating within his own administration, or 2) acknowledge that Bush was lying (once again) to the American people. As Yogi Berra would say, “It’s déjà vu all over again.”
