That doesn't make it a "falsehood".

When the statement is not true, then what do you call it?

Bush made a statement in good faith that turned out to be wrong.

Bush's most famous lie, the one about Yellow Cake in the State of the Union, was specificly pointed out to him as wrong weeks earlier and he removed it from his trial-ballon stump speech.

He may have tried to skirt the issue by fudging that it was England making the claim, but since he knew the facts of the claim were wrong it is still a lie ... not a lie of ignorance, but a deliberate lie and should be called such.
