"Reasonable people can disagree about the conduct of the war but it is irresponsible for Democrats to now claim that we misled them and the American people," Bush said.

Why would it be irresponsible if it were true? Three years ago we kept hearing WMDs WMDs WMDs, yet while that chant was going on, we (meaning us, the people not in Washington) weren't hearing the CIA's version which said, ummm, maybe but we doubt it, or anyone else's version, we were hearing the now infamous "16 words" and Powell's pile of crap at the UN.

Misleading the Democrats who had access to the full reports? That's a harder sell. Misleading the public? I think that's another story entirely.
