When one watches or listens to a George W. Bush news conference, one inevitably perceives a fundamentally stupid man whose notion that the best way to cover for his idiocy is to speak to others as if they need simple ideas explained to them.
Nah, Bill, you've got it wrong. You've gotta listen for the nuance. Here, try this:
"I would have gone into Afghanistan the way we went into Afghanistan. Even knowing what I know today about the stockpiles of weapons, I still would have called upon the world to deal with Saddam Hussein. See, I happen to believe that we'll find out the truth on the weapons. That's why we've sent up the independent commission. I look forward to hearing the truth, exactly where they are. They could still be there. They could be hidden, like the 50 tons of mustard gas in a turkey farm."
On second thought, never mind.
