Our President the moron

Question: What assurances can you give the American people that the intelligence this time will be accurate?

President Bush: Ed, we know they're there, we know they're provided by the Quds force. We know the Quds force is a part of the Iranian government. I don't think we know who picked up the phone and said to the Quds force, go do this, but we know it's a vital part of the Iranian government. What matters is, is that we're responding. The idea that somehow we're manufacturing the idea that Iranians are providing IEDs is preposterous.

He doesn't answer the question at all. He gives no assurances that the information is accurate, and just repeats the information and offers no proof or sources of any kind. Then he goes off on a tangent about how he isn't just making things up. It is so weird, and if you read the transcript of the conference, he just pulls that idea out of no where. It come off like when a parent comes home to her 8 year old son and asks how he's been, and the kid responds "I wasn't getting into the cookie jar! Really I wasn't!" I have to agree with Digby's assessment that the best explanation is that Bush had been briefed on the topic of manufacturing intelligence, and "he just blurted it out because he's an idiot."
