Whew!

According to David Stout in the NYT, President Bush has called reports that he plans to start a nuclear war "wild speculation."

Josh Marshall notes that this statement might be more credible if it were coming from someone who had not proven to be a serial liar.
It's not just that the president has now earned a well-deserved reputation for lying. It is because he and his chief aides lied to the country about a more or less parallel situation -- the build up to war on Iraq -- only four years ago. We now know that the fix was in on the Iraq War as early as September/October 2001. And the president and his crew kept up the charade that no decisions had been made long after those claims became laughable.
