Just another persective. Why is it always your line that Bush lied. Ever think it might have been bad intel, or that someone else lied to him, and he was acting in good faith?
What about all those lawmakers that saw the same information that bush did, I guess they lied as well? And Tony Blair?
Why is it your opinion that it was only bush that lied?

Danny,
When a person has a history of lying over and over, one tends to mistrust everything that person says. I could buy the bad intel if that was the case, but when many others are offering opposite opinions based on intel, one would have to wonder if the intel was truly bad, or just selective. As your buddy, tie, pointed out, it is absurd to think that even if the Iraqis were capable (theyre not) of running a complex operation, we would let them do it as long as we were involved in the same operation. As tie pointed out; we didnt let the French or Germans do it in GW I.
As far as the lawmakers that saw the same information, this is another lie foisted on the public by this administration. It has been rebuked over and over again. Do you really believe that the Legislative Branch sees all the same intel as the President?
I make no apologies for Blair, he has enough problems of his own, but will refer you to The Downing Street Memos for an introduction, if you really care. They will provide a starting point.
It is not my contention that only Bush lied. Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowicz and Rice all lied as well. Their lies have made America less safe. We have diverted resources from a legitimate fight against bin Laden (remember him) and his allies into a poorly conceived, unwinnable war in Iraq.
