If you believe the President when he says that John Kerry was actually insulting the troops the other day, then you probably also believe the President when he tries to tell us that Congress - Democrats and Republicans both - saw the same intelligence he did about Saddam Hussein and authorized the invasion of Iraq, thereby being just as culpable as he in this debacle.

Never mind that it is now established facts that his administration withheld, manipulated, and lied about that intelligence. Never mind that he deliberately presented Congress and the UN the most dismissed and unsubstantiated intelligence he could so long as it fit his agenda.

Is everyone this dumb?
