The best I can figure out, the administration knew, long ago, that one piece of intel was bad (forged or whatever) but that one bit of info was not the sole factor in the decision. To the best of their knowledge, there was other, quite credible, intel that backed up their assertions.

Maybe I'm completely wrong .... but so far I haven't seen any evidence to convince me that the President or those high in his administration lied about anything.

Personally, I smell a feeding frenzy by the media ..... willing to twist and turn everything to suit their own agenda .... and adding 2 + 2 and coming up with apples and oranges.

If Sharpton is so eager to impeach a president for lying, exactly where was he hiding when x42 was in office? .... and how can he even consider running for the presidency himself when he has been proven to be a liar? In my mind these are pertinent questions that help put Sharpton's remarks in perspective.

It may help to go to the original thread instead of the two follow-ups. Once upon a time, in a land far, far away... No, actually...Doug Thompson of Capitol Hill Blue wrote an article that included the following quotes and an original headline that said outright that BUSH LIED.

"The report had already been discredited," said Terrance J. Wilkinson, a CIA advisor present at two White House briefings. "This point was clearly made when the President was in the room during at least two of the briefings."

Bush's response was anger, Wilkinson said. It may help to go to the original thread instead of the two follow-ups. Once upon a time, in a land far, far away...

"He said that if the current operatives working for the CIA couldn't prove the story was true, then the agency had better find some who could," Wilkinson said. "He said he knew the story was true and so would the world after American troops secured the country."
