YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO'S CONFUSED!

16 intel agencies had a classified report on Iraq leaked to the media--painting a stark and dire picture on how terrorism is on the rise because of the war.

What's odd is how Negroponte signed off on the report and Bush backed parts of it--which said that AQ was severely damaged by the war on terror. (What the report conveniently left out is how AQ is resurging in Afghanistan--thanks in part to the strong opium trade.)

Recently, Negroponte disputed the validity of his own report--desperate to make it look like it was something else entirely.

And here's the kicker:

Today, Bush said that those parts of the leaked report was only meant to "confuse" Americans, not inform them.

So here's my questions: Who in our government has the actual 411 on what the report really said? Negroponte or Bush? Who is telling the truth? And who here isn't already confused by this?

Stay tuned though: Bush plans on "declassifying" the already leaked report.

Kind've stupid though--declassifying something that the public already knows about. (Just like Bush's attempt to keep the wiretapping program a secret--even though we already knew about it last year!)

But this is Bush we are talking about here.

The Man of Utter Perplexity and Confusion.
