In an interview with Diane Sawyer, the most amazing thing came out of President Bush's mouth:

DIANE SAWYER: But stated as a hard fact, that there were weapons of mass destruction as opposed to the possibility that he could move to acquire those weapons still ?

PRESIDENT BUSH: So what's the difference?

DIANE SAWYER: Well ?

PRESIDENT BUSH: The possibility that he could acquire weapons. If he were to acquire weapons, he would be the danger

is it just me, or did he not just say, more or less, the equivalent of "Well, it depends on what the definition of the word 'is' is."?

Actually, the literal tranlation cutting through the journaleese pomposity and the political fizz fuzz is this:

DS: Does Sadam Housain have weapons of mass destruction?

Then, President bush is sidestepping in order to avoid those three little words that politicians cannot bring themselves to utter. Those three dreaded words:

"I don't know."
