War rationale based on CIA error, but Bush today is still using that rationale

The only useful thing about having a complete idiot as president is that he continues to make the same mistakes over and over again.

To wit: this new Senate Intell Committee report claiming that the CIA misled the White House. Putting aside for a minute whether we should even believe this report, and whether the White House pressured the CIA in the first place to provide trumped up evidence, and whether the White House trumped up the evidence even more once it received it, note that Bush responds to the report by reiterating THE SAME NOW-PROVED-FAULTY EVIDENCE. What kind of a moron responds to a report that concludes "they lied to you, sir," by then REPEATING THE LIES?

AP:

The CIA has not repaired ingrained problems that led it to provide false information and conclusions that the Bush administration used to justify last year's invasion of Iraq, the Senate Intelligence Committee said Friday....

Bush called the report a useful accounting of intelligence agencies' shortcomings. He defended the decision to go to war, however, as well as his prewar assertions about Saddam's government and weapons of mass destruction.

'We haven't found the stockpiles, but we knew he could make them,' Bush said during a campaign stop Friday in Kutztown, Pa. 'The world is better off without Saddam Hussein in power.'
Yeah, you should be the last person talking about who the world is better of with out of power.
