President Bush on Tuesday said it is naive and a mistake to think that the war with Iraq has worsened terrorism, disputing a national intelligence assessment by his own administration. He said he was declassifying part of the report..."Some people have guessed what's in the report and concluded that going into Iraq was a mistake. I strongly disagree," Mr. Bush said...He asserted that portions of the classified report that had been leaked were done so for political purposes, referring to the Nov. 7 midterm elections...Mr. Bush announced that he was ordering parts of the report declassified during a White House news conference with President Karzai....Bush to Declassify Part of NIE, Barry Schweid, The NY Sun, 9/26/06
If the enemy uses quotes against you, provide your own, including your enemy's source. I'm not sure that's in The Art of War but it's possible that the President is adding a chapter of his own. Kudos to the White House! We sometimes go for long stretches in this administration where every liar, con artist, and thug is allowed to go on unrestricted by argument, where it seems that they have more rights than their target. This suggests that the President doesn't feel that way today. It's good to see Rudolf Giuliani's thesis of law enforcement applied by the Oval Office.
