trinityvixenBoy, does this sound familiar.
"Well, we didn't get the answer we hoped for out of this report, but that doesn't mean we can't exploit the few gaps in the risk assessment and make crazy claims!"
Gotta love this one part (which is actually from the article as opposed my paraphrasing above):
“I want to compliment the intelligence community for their good work,” he said. “Right after the failure of intelligence in Iraq, we reformed the intelligence community.”
The cynic in me goes, "Yeah, your 'reformation' means you just restaffed with people who would tell you the lies you wanted to hear." The secret, long-hidden optimist goes, "Wow!

He just won't admit whose intelligence was truly suspect."
