Earlier this week, Karl Rove said that President Bush would not
have invaded Iraq if he knew there were no WMD. In today’s press
briefing, Helen Thomas asked White House spokeswoman Dana Perino
whether Rove is “in charge” of promoting Bush’s presidency. Perino
responded, “No, I am. I have a team of people who’s helping talk
about the president’s decisions that he’s made over the past eight
years.”
Defending Bush’s pre-war intelligence failure, Perino claimed that
“other leaders from all around the world” thought Saddam had WMD.
When Thomas noted that British intelligence — referring to the the
Downing Street Memo — disagreed with Bush, Perino simply said that
the memo had been “debunked”:
Q: What about the chief of British intelligence saying you were
going to fix the facts around the politics?
PERINO: I think that that’s been debunked.
Thomas quickly countered, “It’s never been been debunked.” Caught
off guard, Perino admitted that she was the one who “debunked” it:
Q: It’s never been debunked.
PERINO: Well, it’s been debunked by me.
Q: Good for you.
PERINO: Good for me.
Recall, the Downing Street Memo — which was authored by former
British foreign policy aide Matthew Rycroft before the Iraq war —
reported: “Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action,
justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the
intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy.”
Good for Helen Thomas.
