Gilliard on Bush’s WMD (non-)Lies
Here’s a provocative piece from Steve Gilliard at Daily Kos: Is Bush lying? Interestingly, and, I think, insightfully, Gilliard thinks the answer is no. In Gilliard’s attempts to make sense of Bush’s actions with respect to Iraqi WMDs, he comes to the conclusion that rather than being a liar, it is far more likely that Bush (and Rumsfeld) have simply been played for marks by adept conman Ahmad Chalabi.

If he was “played for a mark,” it’s because he wanted to be. People, all people, love it when others tell them what they want to hear. That’s what the King’s fool is supposed to be for. Of course in this case…well you get the idea.
