On May 22, 2006, President Bush spoke in Chicago and gave a characteristically upbeat forecast: "Years from now, people will look back on the formation of a unity government in Iraq as a decisive moment in the story of liberty, a moment when freedom gained a firm foothold in the Middle East and the forces of terror began their long retreat."

Two days later, the intelligence division of the Joint Chiefs of Staff circulated a secret intelligence assessment to the White House that contradicted the president's forecast.

He managed a Wal-Mart store? Hmm, never knew. I wonder how he did, his adventures with other business ventures didnt turn out so hot, but it is pretty hard to fuck up with a Wal-Mart.

He managed to lie about something two days before his intelligence chiefs put word round about it ? That's quite clever, perhaps he's psychic.

A brief timeline of what went wrong:

November 4 2000: George W Bush is elected president.

March 20 2003: The invasion of Iraq begins.
