In case anyone is wondering who the President turns to when forming policy, he revealed some of the inner workings of his braintrust today at a press conference<\/a>. In answering a question about Iraq’s future, the President said:<\/p>\n

“How do I know that would happen? Because that’s what the enemy has told us would happen. That’s what they have said. And as Commander-in-Chief of the United States military, and as a person working to secure this country, I take the words of the enemy very seriously, and so should the American people.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Specifically, this is whose word’s the President takes seriously:<\/p>\n

“…all you got to do is listen to what Osama bin Laden says. Don’t believe me that it’s a part of the war on terror; listen to the enemy…”<\/span><\/p>\n

With consultants like that, it’s a little easier to understand why his presidency is such a miserable failure. It’s just too bad for the 655,000 dead Iraqis<\/a> that Bush prefers the advice of his enemies to that of the 67% of his fellow Americans that oppose his disasterous war.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
