This is the relevant section:

willfully and contrary to such oath states or subscribes any material matter which he does not believe to be true

It appears to me from the supposed contradictions adduced in the article that one could not make the case. Thus, I do not believe that he committed perjury. And although there is a difference between saying that someone had committed perjury and that he had been convicted, perjury is a term of art, and claiming that someone committed perjury means that one has confidence that a fair trial would produce conviction. Thus, it seems to me that you have exceeded the evidence in your claim. Finally, I have no idea of what was behind the settlement, and would draw no conclusions damaging to Bush from it........
