What lies? Cheney was obviously correct, certainly about the second (never achieved) U.N. resolution. Pursuing that (which we did for the benefit of Blair) only ended up hurting Blair politically. Just as in America, support for the war started to decrease in Britain over time as it was pointlessly delayed by fruitless attempts to appease the French and other Saddamite jackboot lickers.
On the other point, how did Bush "steal" the election when there was never a single vote count that gave (or even would have given) Gore a winning total?
It would have been better, admittedly, if there had been time for a proper judicial contest of the election, but unfortunately there wasn't time because the FLORDIA Supreme Court effectively -- AND UNCONSTITUTIONALLY -- rewrote the election law by changing the explicit dates therein in order to extend the period for Gore's selective recounts (conducted by the county election commission in the prejudicial challenge phase).
But then (deep down) you knew this (or maybe you're an idiot). The Dims screwed the whole thing up themselves: first by challenging, often in court, every piddling decision the county election commissions made about the counting (even though they were Dims, and even though the election law clearly mandated them and only them to make such decisions according to a set procedure they all did their very best to follow), and second, as regards the aforementioned Dim dominated SCOFLA, by monkeying with the clear text of the law instead of letting the matter proceed to judicial contest by the appointed date.
It was Gore, and the Dims, and the Florida Supreme Court, and their collective contempt for the rule of law, that eff'ed the whole thing up. In truth all the Supreme Court of the United States really did was to step in and say "look, you guys eff'd this all up."
And here you are, like a true (infantile) Dim, YEARS LATER, still blaming your own mistakes (and guile) on those who did nothing more than confront you with their reality.
(Just incredible you people are still on about this.)
