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.

I agree with that... they DID vote to support him... but actual history and the real information says that the whole thing was cooked up by Cheney and his crew... even down to outing a CIA agent and producing fake documents. Bush is ultimately responsible for that because it happened on HIS watch and he actively worked to cover it up rather than being transparent and assisting investigation.
