WMD: Decide First, Get Facts Second

Bush's Iraq policy has been remarkably consistent, as Bob Somerby points out, quoting from Woodward's Bush at War:

In Bush at War, Bob Woodward quotes Bush at a crucial NSC meeting on September 17, 2001:

WOODWARD (page 98-99): As for Saddam Hussein, the president ended the debate [about immediate military action against Iraq]. “I believe Iraq was involved, but I’m not going to strike them now. I don’t have the evidence at this point.”

According to Woodward, Bush “believed Iraq was involved” in 9/11, although he “didn’t have the evidence.” What a fascinating bit of text! Readers, is it reassuring to know that Bush “believes” important things although he “doesn’t have the evidence?”


Hmm... Where else have we seen Bush "believe" something, even though there wasn't "evidence" to back it up?
