No, it would just mean that he told you the sun was green and you believed him. That's a false statement noneoftheless. A lie however, is a false statement that's made to decieve.

Written by yours truly, so don't suspect any liberal bias from Wikipedia.

A 'lie' is a knowingly false statement. This part is what the dimbulbs won't acknowledge. Bush may have been wrong (which I don't think he was) about the WMD (quantities, composition, location, etc.)but to assert that he 'lied' when what we didn't find what we expected to be there is deception on their part, pure and simple. What was the amount of yellowcake in Iraq that the UN had documented? I seem to recall around 600 tons. What did they use that for? Paint pigment? Yeah, right!

What Lancey wrote is true. The British government did learn those things. That's true, not false.

Yep, we agree. "The sun is green" is a false statement, but "Somebody told me the sun is green" is a true statement if indeed somebody told me the sun was green. Congratulations - - you are capable of linear thought and understand basic logic.

The Liberals are screwed up when it comes to lieing.

A lie is when president knows he had sex with an intern in the oval office, but then tells America that he didn't.

A false statement is when a President learns from various classified sorces and government officials that say Saddam was a "Slam Dunk", and take their word as a true statement, and tell the American people this true statement. Then later find out that it might not have been a true statement.

The Liberals are one backwards bunch...
