One of Bush's main justifications for the Iraq War was that al Qaeda and Iraq were linked. Well, they weren't before, but they are now:
"Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia did not exist before the Sept. 11 attacks. The Sunni group thrived as a magnet for recruiting and a force for violence largely because of the American invasion of Iraq"

Clearly Bush's claims about links between al Qaeda and Iraq were self-fulfilling prophecies. This got me thinking - is it possible that Bush isn't a liar, but merely that he can see into the future, but can't discern the future from the present? That would explain why he's always said that al Qaeda and Iraq were linked!
