The Fool Strategy

We screwed up prewar intelligence. We screwed up postwar planning. We screwed up on interrogation techniques, we screwed up on financing the war. We screwed up on yellow cake and Al-Qaida/Iraqi connections, we screwed up by dismissing the reports of weapons-inspectors on the ground.

But we're not liars. We're fools. And the sooner the American public can go back to regarding us as fools, not liars, the sooner I can go back to doing the job the American people put me in office to do, the sooner I can get back to - not lying - fooling around with the national interest. Thank you.
