Who says Bush lied?
Thanks to Christopher for sending along this article which makes it clear that nearly every important statement made by President Bush regarding reasons for the Iraq War were, even if some were later found to be incorrect, "substantiated by intelligence information."

Ross,
Facts. Why do you keep on insisting on using facts in your arguments? They get in the way of how I "feel" something happened or how something should be!
The fundamental issue with the entire Democrat argument of non-culpability is erroneous. It was the entire US Congress that approved the actions of our President based on the same intelligence that was seen by every Senator and Representative. You cannot hold 1 man accountable for the the actions of both Executuve and Legislative branches of the government. Therefore, until those Democrats in Congress are held accountable by the same voters that spew their hatred at Bush, any argument that is made will be false because it is a partisan talking point of the Left and the Democratic party.

Maybe Bush didn't lie about the intelligence or the motivation (we'll probably never know for sure), but it does seem he mislead the public about the cost of the war. The idea that the war would pay for itself was never plausible but was used to persuade the public. The amount of money spent on this campaign should outrage everyone.
