Sure you can. Exactly. AG's point is that they were not trying to hide the evidence. Will you please explain this to Slave?

you gotta pick Ty, is he an evangelical nut who just does what god tells him or a calculating politician who's every action is geared to re-election. Take a position, you can always crash the board again if you feel all boxed in next week.

He had some sort of faith, and must have believed the evidence would turn up. He seems to have had some sort of faith that he would be borne out, notwithstanding what Franks (e.g.) was telling him. But it's also clear that he thinks that if he provides strong leadership on an issue, the public will follow. He says this again and again in Woodward's book.
You tell me what was going on. One day, Franks tells him they've never found a single WMD in ten years of looking. Two days later, Bush is telling journalists that Hussein has WMD. What was he thinking?
