Bush lied:
* Bush allowed the neocons to create the Office of Special Plans to circumvent normal intelligence vetting procedures,
* he asked only for info the backed his views and thus is guilty of cherry-picking data,
* he distorted CIA reports in public speeches by removing caveats and disagreements between government agencies,
* he used false logic ("we know he had em cause he used em"),
* he jumped the gun several times after the invasion, saying we had "found WMD", and
* he allowed Cheney to continue to make statements that were being contradicted by the CIA.
* he never explained why Powell said in February of 2001 at Cairo, that Saddam had "no significant WMD capability"
* he said to Diane Sawyer "What's the difference?", when addressing the difference between "Saddam has" and "Saddam has not accounted for".
Clinton did say that Saddam had WMD, but it was implicitly stated as an opinion or an educated guess by Clinton.
Bush really lied since he attached a bunch of phony evidence to his assertion which he stated as categorical proof. The evidence was phony in of itself, regardless of whether Saddam really did or didn't have WMD.
Bush is like a cop who plants evidence or misconstrues evidence to fit his theory or the thesis that helps his political aims or that he hopes turns out to be true.
Before the war, the French, Chinese and Russians agreed that Saddam had WMD. The fact is though that even though the Chinese, French and Russians thought that Saddam might have WMD, only Blair and Bush were arrogant enough to say they were sure.
In substance, Bush lied by saying he was sure on WMD stockpiles, when he should have said that he couldn't be sure.
where's the obligatory flattened vermin is what I wanna know...
that's a recent pic...
who the hell has a railgun?

That just caused me to think of a campaign slogan "Bush saves civilization while Kerry saves hamsters"
Paint?
the vermin is at the bottom of the ocean... we gave him a burial at sea. Beautiful water lilies mark the spot where he was last seen...
I loved that last line. You're killing me.
Put some ice on that, indeed!
Yeah, but thing of the utter relief that it would give you if you would just go out and strangle 1 liberal! If you need suggestions I have a list... :)
(admin mod: this is by no means a threat of violence, just an semi innocent attempt at sick humor. Thanks for reading my offical disclaimer. Have a nice day! exits are to you right.)
Liar.
Clinton stated it as FACT that Iraq had WMD.
Go back and read his statements on it.
Oh, wait, you won't do that since it goes against your predetermined arguing points!
LOL!
Subhuman glitterati, you will lick my boots and gag on my table scraps.
AND your mom dresses you funny.
According to liberals, the fact that WMD's capable of killing 200,000 people in Iraq isn't really WMD's. See, those loving liberals, who care so much about the rights of people to live, don't think it's WMD's unless 6 million are dead, or a dem president is in charge.
