WASHINGTON -- White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan says President
Bush was "pleased" with the latest investigation that blames CIA
analysts for the false information that Iraq had weapons of mass
destruction.

That's the reason Bush invaded Iraq, remember? Once again it's those
low-level bureaucrats who took us into war. And once again a panel of
"don't rock the boat" establishment figures has let the commander in
chief off the hook.

Any other president would have blown his stack. Instead, Bush honored
former CIA Director George Tenet with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
