when the President of the US has to stress that he's telling the truth to the American people. Link below; my emphasis.
"No doubt reassuring millions of Americans, President Bush yesterday defended his program of legally dubious wiretapping at home and strategically dubious regime change abroad for fighting terrorists by insisting he isn't in la-la land.
Terrorists want to use Iraq as a home base, Bush told reporters on Wednesday. He then added:
"I'm not making this up."
So now you know: This time it's for real."
