There were no fibs involved in Lincoln words or his actions.

His actions were inconsistent with his words because he did exactly what he called invasion and then tried to claim he was not doing.

Face it. You are grasping at straws on this one. It is evident in your argument itself, which has shifted to a debate of skewered semantics, spin doctoring, and pro-Lincoln bullsh*t artistry.

But try as you may you still can't seem to get around the consequences of Lincoln's statement. Lincoln specifically defined invasion as marching an army into a region against the will of its people and in hostility toward them. That he did exactly that throughout the war simply cannot be denied. Therefore he invaded. There's no way around it.

[Non-Sequitur]

His actions were inconsistant with his words only when you refuse to take into account the confederate actions and the war that was forced upon him. At the time he made his speech, the confederates had not initiated hostilities, and they had not funded an army of 100,000 men. He did not try to coerce the south through invasion. He turned to using the army only when given no other choice. If that means he 'fibbed', well, you are entitled to your opinion.
