"You might want to make a case for him lacking in due diligence" ie incompetence. That would be a best case scenario but I think it involves both incompetence AND lies.

"Bush may very well have been pushed or influenced in his thinking. He has advisors that are supposed to be doing that sort of thing." If it's a case where shrub was misled by advisors, the fact that there has been no action taken to correct the process or even remove the guilty from the process shows complicity on the part of shrub in maintaining a faulty process and retaining those responsible for the faults. And it cannot be said that most of them simply screwed up this one time. They all have histories of deceit going back as far as Iran/Contra. The Valerie Plame episode is the most glaring example of this. The Niger scandal coming out of the SOTU is corroboration. The implication is pretty clear...his advisors are doing the job put to them. It is not unreasonable to assume that bush is responsible for setting tasks for his own advisors. These tasks have been to create lies.
