On March 31, 2005, the national news media carried a news clip showing President George W. Bush vehemently attacking U.S. Intelligence agencies for giving him faulty information about the secret weapons of mass destruction that Saddam Hussein had supposedly stashed away in Iraq prior to Bush's order to invade that now-destroyed country. The idea he so effectively communicated was that any blame for attacking Iraq should be placed on the miscreant intelligence agencies, and not on himself. Bush's self-righteous defense of his innocence is based on a special commission report that Bush himself ordered. ... [T]he surprising outcome of the report is that Mr. Bush is completely innocent, and it is our intelligence agencies that are at fault for the mess he has created in Iraq. Good try, Mr. Bush!, but you should have waited one more day before launching such an April Fool's Day story!
