Kerry mocking Bush about the CIA "guess" made Bush change the word!
At the Orlando rally the other night JK was openly mocking Dubya for his comment that the CIA was "guessing" about WMD's.

Today when George was asked about it he says this:

"Listen, the other day I was asked about the NIE, which is a national intelligence estimate. This is a report that talks about possibilities about what can happen in Iraq, not probabilities.

I used an unfortunate word, "guess." I should have used "estimate."


It looks like JK scored a solid punch. This is what happens when JK goes on the attack. Dubya retreats to the ropes and JK continues to pummel until Bunnypants is out for the count!

1. Notice he didn't say "I meant to say"
He said "I should have used". As in, it's politically bad to say what I really think.

2. Kerry has George "explaining" . Who was it that said when a candidate
starts having to "explain" he is in trouble?

4. hasn't somebody made the obvious pokint that the October 2002
NIE was one of the CORNERSTONES of the intel upon Bush relied to propel us into war in the first place?

did I miss all those discussions?

the ones where people savaged Bush for relying on a fricking GUESS about mushroom clouds/smoking guns?


sorry if this is just belaboring the obvious, but I haven't seen it discussed. maybe I missed it
