Today's Washington Post reports that Bush's post-invasion claim of the discovery of mobile "biological laboratories," which war supporters clung to as vindication of the invasion until it turned out to be complete rubbish, was thoroughly debunked by the Pentagon's own team of experts two days before Bush made the false claim.

"There was no connection to anything biological," said one expert who studied the trailers. Another recalled an epithet that came to be associated with the trailers: "the biggest sand toilets in the world."

Defenders of the president will no doubt claim that he had no idea what the Pentagon's own experts knew, and never found out what they knew during the year or so he continued to repeat the false claim.  Like his dad, he was "out of the loop" on key foreign policy decisions he was making himself.

Does anybody really want to make that argument?  That just means that Bush was running around pretending to know what the hell he was talking about, and that none of his judgments could possibly be considered informed.  He's still a liar, even in the defense case, and an uniformed loose cannon at that.  And the quagmire in Iraq has been the direct result. 

The chimp lies.  Period.

Let's hope more people figure this out before we start bombing Iran and who knows where else.
