>> The Center for Public Integrity has done an extensive take down of your claims.

1. Making a false statement is a necessary, but not sufficient condition for it to be the act of "lying".

2. If making false statements is a crime, you may want to look at our current president who certainly has made more false statements than Bush ever did.

GWB was told by the CIA director that WMD was a "slam dunk". That's the end of the story. GWB & his advisers had every reason to accept that, given it was backed up by essentially every western intelligence agency and agreed to by people like Bill Clinton, Hillary, Jay Rockefeller, Jane Harman, etc.

There is no evidence to suggest Bush ever had any intention to mislead. There is evidence he believed he had a strong case and did everything he could do to support that case.

As any great president would have done.
