Naw, don't you know the BJ kid established that everyone lies. So Blix was lying, the UN was lying, all those senators and reps that had access to the spy data, they were lying as well. When they voted the use of force resolutions in the house and senate, they were just lying.

They all lie. See how easy it is to establish this fact. The BJ kid started the trend, the wacko dumpo-o-craps want to make it their standard bearer in the next election. The depth of the dump-os hate blinds them nicely. Leftward ho.

Just ask the NYT, the NYT don't lie, do they?

The Senators and the UN are lemmings who will do what others tell them, especially in foreign policy. Heck, they don't even read most of the bills they vote for.

Blix didn't claim that Iraq *currently* had WMD. Did Bush lie? Probably not. Dissemble or stretch the truth would be more accurate. I suspect that he trumped up dubious or undated intelligence data on WMD, then claimed certainty, because he discovered that WMD was the most effective "scare" argument.

I believe the use of force resolution was pushed thru right before election and anybody who questioned the accuracy of the information supporting it was painted as an unAmerican traitor by the administration.

It was hardball politics then, I see no reason it shouldn't be now.
