The Bush administration spent over a year polishing their lies before invading Iraq. These numpties aren't even bothering to come up with halfway credible excuses so they just produce a new lie every few days.

At least Bush, as much as I hated him, polished the lie, at least it was polished. As you say, Trump comes up with another ridiculous explanation every day!

Among the calamities of War may be justly numbered the diminution of the love of truth, by the falsehoods which interest dictates and credulity encourages. --Samuel Johnson, 1758
