Rebuttal

The mighty Atrios points us to David Sirota's site for some Claim vs. Fact analysis of some of the president's rather astounding comments and comparisons. Notably:

    CLAIM:

    "But there was nobody in our government, at least, and I don't think the prior government that could envision flying airplanes into buildings on such a massive scale."
    - George W. Bush, 4/13/04

    FACT:

    In the very same press conference, President Bush said "part of [the reason I requested the PDB] had to do with the Genoa G-8 conference I was going to attend" in 2001, where he was warned that Islamic terrorists were potentially plotting to fly airplanes into buildings.
