Finally...

The President has started to push back against the silly "Bush lied..." canard. You wonder why this kind of thing took so long to make it into his speeches:

"Some of our elected leaders have opposed this war all along. I disagree with them, but I respect their willingness to take a consistent stand. Yet some Democrats who voted to authorize the use of force are now rewriting the past. They are playing politics with this issue and sending mixed signals to our troops and the enemy. That is irresponsible."
