this is also a pretty funny point. the idea that "Bush lied". which is a position you are forced to adopt because of how many Democrats voted to go into Iraq. otherwise, it becomes a collective mistake with personal accountability... much easier to point the finger far off in the distance and say "the problem is over there"
did Bush lie? i don't know. don't care. Congress gave him authority and constantly gave him money to do it. all the bi-partisan intelligence committees and government agencies didn't seem to feel one guy was just making shit up. so at a minimum, you have to admit that the "lie" involved more than one political party and one person.
