Another level on the pyramid

Bush says he's going to name an intelligence czar. Because, for some reason, the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, the DIA and the CSS just aren't playing well together.

Asked why he embraced the idea over the objections of some of his advisors, Bush told reporters during an impromptu press conference in the White House Rose Garden he "thought it was the right thing to do."

I guess that's one better than, "Because I said so," which is only slightly better than, "Because God told me to."

Asked about the intelligence failures leading up to the war in Iraq, Bush defended his decision to oust former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

"Knowing what I know today, we still would have gone into Iraq," Bush said.

Because it was the right thing to do, of course.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
