Bush now quoting the Baker-Hamilton report - the report he totally ignored - to "prove" that his escalation is a good idea

They're delusional. And they must think we're delusional too, that we don't see through their lies.

Bush's National Security Adviser has penned an op ed in Monday's Washington Post that repeatedly cites the Baker-Hamilton report - the report that Bush completely disregarded in coming up with the Bush-McCain escalation plan in Iraq - and he's citing the report as "proof" that the escalation plan is a good idea, when the report actually said, among other things, that we should be engaging Iran in diplomacy, not trying to goad them into our third war this very short century.

And in any case, Bush dismissed the report, out of hand. If he's now claiming he's embracing it, great - maybe we can have the Dems offer legislation codifying the Baker-Hamilton report recommendations into law. Then let's see how Bush embraces those recommendations.

Extra credit if you can find the other lies in the op ed. You can start with the claim that the Iraqis are the ones who came up with the escalation plan - they denied that lie two weeks ago.
