The denial followed by two of the lies...a) members of the bush administration told us that it would be quick b) members of the bush administration told us that iraqi oil would pay for the war...


I think everyone thought it would be quicker than it was. So, mistakes were made. Show me a war where one wasn't.

Imagine had things turned out differently and Doug MacArther didn't HAVE to retreat and "return" later! I'm sure that would have been his preference. But the idea of war is to spoil the other guy's plans.

It is ridiculous to say it is a "lie" because it took longer than expected.

And I'm not aware of anyone ever having claimed the oil revenue would pay for it. It might have been put forth as a proposal, but it wasn't sold to the American people that way.

For you to to call these lies is just more disingenuous talk, which is pretty much what you do.
