Not Mutually Exclusive

Biden on Bush 

Biden, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, called that explanation “unbelievable.”

“Are you telling me a president that’s briefed every single morning, who’s fixated on Iran, is not told back in August that the tentative conclusion of 16 intelligence agencies in the U.S. government said they had abandoned their effort for a nuclear weapon in ’03?” Biden asked in a conference call with reporters.

“I refuse to believe that,” he added. “If that’s true, he has the most incompetent staff in modern American history, and he’s one of the most incompetent presidents in modern American history.”

We already know that this is the most incompetent Presidents and staffs in modern American history, but they could be lying also.  Lying badly, but still lying.

OR as John Cole pointed out:

I guess my only question at this point is why President Cheney is allowing Vice President Bush in front of a microphone.
