Bush to Reality: “Nyah nyah nyah nyah—I can’t hear you!”

President says NIE leak was political, denies Iraq has worsened terrorism. In other words, he’s the Decider, and he’s decided that Iraq hasn’t worsened terrorism, and because “we’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality,” that means that no matter what the NIE says, the reality is that we’re safer, bitchez.

And worry not—the President plans on declassifying the “key judgments” of the NIE to prove that he’s right. No no no, you cynical liberal traitors; he’s not cherry-picking. He’s just “directed National Intelligence Director John Negroponte to declassify those parts of the report that don’t compromise national security.”

And anyone who suggests he ought to declassify the whole thing is obviously a terrorist sympathizer. Yeah, I’m talking to you, Osama bin Democrats.
