Doublespeak Quote of the Year

It is only the 14th day of the year, but I think we alreay have the 2007 Doublespeak Quote the Year. Let's hope so. I found this in Friday's Whitehouse Briefing. Froomkin reports:
White House spokeswoman Dana Perino told CNN that Bush's condemnation of what she called 'Iran's meddlesomeness' [in his Wednesday night speech] was an important signal to the region. "'Surely the United States is not the one being threatening,' she said. 'We are not the ones being meddlesome and troublesome in Iraq.'
We invaded Iraq, we sat by while their national treasures were pillaged, we tortured their sons, and brothers, and fathers, we raped their daughters, and sisters, and mothers, we killed their childen, we aided and abetted in ushering in a civil war, yet Iran is the one who is meddling.
