'Incomplete, Oversimplified and Possibly Untrue'

McClatchy Newspapers has a must-read article on the administration's misleading statements on Iraq.

In related news, the President was on '60 Minutes' last night. Apparently, the interview was quite a doozy (but what's new there?). I didn't see it, but those who did examined the high(?)lights.

Americablog shows how Bush acknowledged as correct a line of inquiry on how his pre-war assertions were all false, but then insists that he has been straight with the American people (an assertion that is, in itself, false). Talking Points Memo looks at Bush using the nuclear canard in regards to Iran and Iraq (imagine if they did have nukes-- scary!!). Finally, a blog at The American Prospect notes that Bush said that what really bothers Americans is that the 'gratitude level' from the Iraqis is not 'significant enough'.

I'm really glad I didn't see that, my poor brain cells have suffered enough.

I posted about the politics of this on Sunday, but let's not forget there are lives at stake too.
