Plausable deniability

Does it seem odd to anyone else that the President, when asked if Rove had foreknowledge of the Swifites ad campaign would reply with a "I don't think so" rather than a flat out no? It is nice to know that Bush would throw Rove under the bus once the connection could be proven, isn't it?

Also during the interview Bush reiterates what we already knew, that Bush's judgement sucks. After all, he still thinks the mission has been accomplished in Iraq. Makes one wonder what his actual mission was, doesn't it?

Maybe he's refering to the smokescreen of Iraq as part of the "war on terror" to obscure his abject failure everywhere else?
