President Bush: I Like To Tell People When The Final History Is Written On Iraq, It Will Look Like Just A Comma...
A pitched battle over an intelligence assessment, covered first by The New York Times and then The Washington Post, broke out across the media today. Former Secretary of State Alexander Haig went so far as blame the whole fuss -- over the negative view of the war in Iraq and the war on terror -- on liberal journalists. CNN aired an interview with President Bush in which he declared that one day the Iraq war will look like "just a comma."
The National Intelligence Estimate declared that the war in Iraq has increased Islamic radicalism, worsening the overall terror threat, cutting at the heart of the White House defense of its strategy. The assessment "should put the final nail in the coffin for President Bush's phony argument about the Iraq war," Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA) said in a statement.
