Could Dubya Be That Naive?

In reference to Nasty's post on some of the misinformation Bush farted last night (09/30/2004), the bigger question is, does Bush actually think some of the facts and figures he spouts are accurate? It is difficult to believe he could get so many things wrong and yet be unaware of them.

Out of all the misstatements and exaggerations that the Kerrybush made on Thursday night, the most egregious were the three times that Bush cited the 100,000 trained Iraqi security personnel (adding that there would be 125,000 by year's end and 200,000 by the end of next year).

Dick Cheney has done the same thing. In answer to Ric's question, these guys absolutely know when they are lying. Their tactic is the same as any politician's: say something that's blatantly false. hope no one calls you on it. if caught, cite poor memory or mistaken intelligience.

It's a shame when someone wags their finger and gets his staff to back up his story that he didn't fuck an intern, but when we're talking about a situation where American lives and world stability are at stake, it's unforgivable.
