Oh...you're referring to the war just before elections politically designed to put Republicans in office.

and

No...very few politicians actually parse their words in order to evade official responsibility, duty, or criminal or civil charges.

So few in fact that doing so added a new word to the US vernancular: "Clintonesque".

I'm referring to the war just about to happen, but I concede on the clintonesque. Politicians in Europe(UK) where I'm living are a lot worse (if you can imagine that) than those in the US.
