There's no lie involved. Explosives are missing. Simple stuff confusing? Here, let me help:

1. Explosives were monitored and protected before the war, under lock and key, subject to regular verification. That's about as safe as things are in a dangerous world.

2. BUSH ORDERS INSPECTORS OUT of Iraq. Suddenly, all bets are off.

3. Sometime later in the war, explosives are missing. Being such a highly prized objective, what a surprise.

1 + 2 + 3 = Conclusion: Bush actions caused Iraq to become more dangerous, not less.

4. CIA report finds that Iraq was telling the truth about his weapons.

1 + 2 + 3 * 4 = Final Conclusion: Sanctions and monitoring were working. Iraq far from safer. Terrorism increased, not decreased, and now all sorts of explosives are missing.

Who is to blame? It very clearly is Bush.
