“The policy had been to keep the army intact; didn’t happen,” Bush told biographer Robert Draper in excerpts published in Sunday's New York Times.He can't remember? George 'Forrest Gump with a Trust Fund' Bush, cannot remember if his policy was or was not to disband the Iraqi army?
Draper pressed Bush to explain why, if he wanted to maintain the army, his chief administrator for Iraq, L. Paul Bremer III, issued an order in May 2003 disbanding the 400,000-strong army without pay.
"Yeah, I can't remember; I'm sure I said, 'This is the policy, what happened?' " Bush said, adding: "Again, Hadley's got notes on all this stuff" -- a reference to national security advisor Stephen J. Hadley.
Bush is either a liar, or painfully stupid. And unless you're a warped, unprincipled wingnut or have been living under a rock for the last 80 months, you know he's both!
Unfortunately for the Liar-in-Chief, L. Paul Bremer has proof that Bush knew what his policy was because he confirmed it in a note to Bremer as they were disbanding the army.
I don't know what's worse with Bush -- his pathological lying or his stupidity -- But both have cost this country far too much for any clear thinking American to tolerate.
