Apparently GW and his staff has seen the benefit of just saying the same thing over and over again, WMD for instance. Say it long and loud enough on the national airwaves, no matter how ridiculous the statement, as in this instance, and you'll get folks to buy into it and go along with it. Even if they don't go for it, he'll just do it anyway. Like he did with the war. He probably won't be around to clean up the mess he's made afterward. I guess he figures that somebody else's problem.
