In July 2003, a White House official acknowledged that Bush and Condoleezza Rice did not read the full National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq before going to war. Jon Schwarz wonders whether White House reporters will ask Tony Snow if Bush read the most recent NIE.

September 25th, 2006 at 11:24 amI doubt it’s part of his eee-kle-tick reading.
September 25th, 2006 at 11:25 amW. & Condi: “We create our own reality around here. We find it more convenient to “shoot the arrow and then just draw the bullseye around it.”
September 25th, 2006 at 11:30 amI think they should tuck this report inside of “My Pet Goat”. He seems fond of spending at least 7 minutes reading that book.
September 25th, 2006 at 11:36 amBush can read?
September 25th, 2006 at 12:02 pmCAN DUBYA READ? I SERIOUSLY DOUBT IT.
September 25th, 2006 at 12:09 pmSame crap as Cheney said. “I haven’t read it yet”.
September 25th, 2006 at 12:22 pmMaybe they can read my lips…
“It’s the lying, stupid”
More shcking revalations from the Dog Ate My Hommework president. ” I am not responsible for stuff I didn’t read….even though it was my job to know what was to be read…other people read for me.”
September 25th, 2006 at 12:24 pmno, noone read the findings to Bush.
September 25th, 2006 at 1:03 pmWHY should they read it?
…they’ve created this reality…
…and it’s paying off handsomely for them…
…READING and FACTS…
…are for the “little people”…
September 25th, 2006 at 1:56 pmDon’t forget the decider needs not know what is going on. He will decide on merit or simple quid pro quo. He knows what these words mean.
September 25th, 2006 at 2:52 pm“Has Bush read the NIE?”
Unless it was published by Scholastic or An I Can Read Book, the answer is definitely “no”.
September 25th, 2006 at 6:09 pmThe scam has finally been busted wide open.
The jig is up.
(Almost) Everything you heard about Iraq was a lie. In the wake of these enlightening reports that have come to light over the past 3 weeks, Bush’s policy on Iraq is now indefensible. What more evidence could you possibly need to know that the entire was has been a scam from the beginning???
September 25th, 2006 at 7:48 pmBush can’t read remember??
September 25th, 2006 at 10:01 pmBush is the best president ever
