In an exclusive C&L interview with the Intelligence Mascot of the White House, NeoConMan says that he's is very upset at being turned into the scapegoat of the Bush administration's failures in the Iraq war.

NeoConMan: I never told them Saddam had WMD's. That's a flat-out lie. When President Bush said he wished the Intelligence had been better, I was stunned. I stood there cheering on Bush and Cheney like most of the media did during the runup to the war and used some of my best cheers because they are my home team. What I did say was that I wasn't sure that Saddam had WMD's, but Cheney twisted my words in one of the Cabinet meetings to say that I indeed did say Saddam had WMD's.

The White House had no comment to NeoConMan's latest remarks.
