Just because it didn't turn out the way they thought it would does not make it a lie.

Is it a lie if the teller believes it? Tough question.

If it is later proven false, but the teller believed it at the time, I suppose one could argue about it technically being called a lie.

But Marshall's point seems to be that Bush et al are lying to themselves, as well.

At any rate ( and I do not like arguing semantics either), the end result of either an outright lie or a self-inflicted lie, is the same.
