Come on... BUSH LIED!!!
And I will tell you how.
Our government knew that Iraq had WMD. Colin Powell showed the UN where everything was. Satellite photos I believe. Everyone said Saddam had WMD. I also believe that our national intelligence isn't that stupid that it would lose hundreds of trucks that left Iraq for points unknown. I also don't believe that hundreds of trucks vanished from the face of this earth without a trace.
So what happened to the trucks? Exactly where conspiracy theorists say they are. They went back to points of origin, mainly Russia. Why?
Because the US, Russia, Europe, Asia and the rest of what can be called the civilized world cannot exist knowing that some crazies from the mid-east are running around this earth with weapons that can wipe civilization from the face of the planet. It is easier for someone to be embarrassed by it and take the blame then to have the world saying, "Where are the WMD? and Bin Laden saying, we have bio/chem and nuclear material." This would throw the world into economic and societal turmoil where no one wins, regardless of ideology.
Bush took the blame and in doing so he lied to us. However, given the alternative, I will accept it gratiously knowing that our President was watching out for our safety.
