Yeah. Lying. Big time.

"I don't think our troops ought to be used for what's called nation-building," - GW Bush - 2000 Campaign

"We’re not into nation-building," - GW Bush Sept 2001

"The United States, along with the European Union and Arab states, will work with Palestinian leaders to create a new constitutional framework, and a working democracy for the Palestinian people. And the United States, along with others in the international community will help the Palestinians organize and monitor fair, multi-party local elections by the end of the year, with national elections to follow." - GW Bush 2002

The primary focus of the Presidents policy is to remove two dictators, Sadaam and Arafat, both of whom support terrorism.

It is the vacuum that the removal of these two dictators will cause, that will necessitate some sort of nation building.

So the nation building in Iraq and Palestine is the result of the primary focus, unlike in Bosnia and Haiti, where the primary focus was -- NATION BUILDING!

You take the President out of context. You don't even show the full context of his three quotes.

B.S. You cannot say "we're not into nation-building" as a categorical statement and then squirm out of it by applying it into some narrow context. That last quote was AFTER Bush was elected. He's a liar and you've had too much of the kool-aid.
