>>The columnist David Warren called it a shell game where the pea had got lost, as good a description as any. That's one reason why this "Bush lied!" meme really burns me - it is both ignorant and deeply dishonest. For gosh sakes, go charge Bush with his real errors of judgment, don't go around demonizing and scapegoating him for invented sins.<<

Nadine -

I'm sorry, but the Bush campaign in 2004 was based on a pattern of deception and the manipulation of voters using fear. Of course, this was no different from pretty much all the statements coming from the Administration throughout 2002, 2003, and 2004, so it was nothing new.

I wouldn't just say that Bush lied. I'd say the whole Administration lied, and continues to lie, in that they carefully craft their messages in such a way as to deceive the public. Intentional deception is lying, no matter how careful you are to maintain deniability.

It's not just about the WMD. They lie on any number of subjects.

PS: Interesting how you're willing to cite the NY Times when you think they support your points, but give them no credibility at all when they don't.
