Uh, let's see. Bush said Iraq had WMDs. People called him a liar. Bush discovered WMDs but kept it a secret because he preferred that people call him a liar. Because only he knew he wasn't lying. That's why he was always smirking. Because he knew people calling him a liar were wrong.
Bush did not respond because it would continue to be a distraction. Had he mounted a defense he would've been hassled no end. He fixed a smile on his face,the adult thing, and relegated it to the past. Since when is it a personal flaw to smile privately to oneself? It just proves the left and their sophomoric pals in the lapdog press that perceive a "smirk" in a president's private smile and go all hysterical.
He was a confident adult being harassed by a tribe of Lilliputians. That's why almost no one on the left can stand to see him simply be himself; they don't udersfand a completely confident man, being confident because he's satisfied he's doing the right thing.
Seriously, you don't really believe that bullshit do you?
I absolutely do. You can't understand that because it's not a part of you to react the way Bush, did; - to never ever respond to the left's bullshit. What he failed to take into account was that they, and people just like you would never relent.
