Bush doesn't thinks he needs to give assurances (not that he could assure us anyway)

Good Froomkin. Very good Froomkin, actually:

But what reporters yesterday were essentially asking him, over and over again, CNN's Ed Henry finally asked directly: "What assurances can you give the American people that the intelligence this time will be accurate?"

What was most striking about Bush's responses was not that he didn't provide any such assurances -- it was that he apparently still doesn't feel he needs to.

The president repeatedly swatted down skeptical questions with precisely the kinds of assertions that have lost nearly all credibility.

Just because Bush says "we know" or "I believe" isn't enough anymore.
Bush doesn't understand that those answers aren't enough anymore. The White House is acting like it's still 2002.
