the UAV lie was not in the SOTU...it was in this nationally televised speech:
whitehouse.gov

To make the Iraq invasion legitimate by saying they might be a threat...someday...maybe...
you might as well insert the name of any country you want in there. To invade another country requires MUCH higher standards than a personal judgement of "...maybe...someday...if I ignore evidence against my desire to invade....if I LIE to the American people..."
Your problem is that when shrub says anything (that's intelligible) you want to believe it's true.
You have to ignore ALOT of lies to reach that bias to believe.
When shrub says it's ok to invade just because information can be twisted to SCARE YOU...and you believe it...that's EXACTLY why it's wrong-headed to go that way. Too many people can be herded into attacking ANYWHERE based on such an approach.
