Did Bush lie about the WMD?

I never thought Bush lied. But II have always said if he did, that was an impeachable offense. The intelligence information was faulty. As far as I know, Congress got the same briefing. They authorized the invasion. So for the critics who call it George Bush's war, I say bullshit, it's just as much my war as any other voting American.

What I learned from the 60 Minutes interview is that is the second war. Because of that, what continues to happen are not random acts of violence, means that the second war needs to be won, not walked away from..

Thank you for a good post.

I believe somebody lied. I don't believe Bush is capable of coming up with such a plan to purposely lead the US into another war when we were already engaged (with reason) in Afghanistan. I DO believe that there were high ranking NEOCONS who steered

Bush into believing it was the thing to do. Major players in the rebuilding of Iraq include Haliburton. I believe it was about profiteering. Bush's "cowboy mentality" was used to lead him to believe we had to go to war. I definitely do not believe Colin Powell lied. I perceive Bush as a "puppet" bought and paid for. There's money to be made and it will cost the US in a big way. The US public WILL pay and pay. Somebody will get very rich.

I have a doubt if Bush is smart enough to lie. His handlers, Dick the TinMan, all those Neo-Con idiots who thought they were such great military geniuses because they played "Stratego" in prep school or whatever, and Rumsfailed and his heavy hand in the kitchen cooking the "inteelligence", yeah, they probably lied.

And as for the congress voting for this debacle, they were fed the same bogus bullshit We The Sheeple were.

As for "winning" this clusterfuck, excuse me, but which objective are we fighting for THIS week? The stated goal of this operation has changed more times in the last 5 years than the guitarist Prince has changed names.

We got lied to, lied to in the worst way, and we're STILL getting lied to. I'm going to be totally pissed if this whole bunch gets to skate off into retirement, lobbyist-hood, and book deals and lecture tours Scot-Free come January.

As for lecture deals, big bucks and skating off unpunished into retirement: just get ready to get pissed as that is precisely what will happen. Too many people just dont want to believe that their leaders can be so corrupt. Its a hard pill to swallow.

Saddam did not do anything..this is a bunch of BS. Bush knew doggone well that this man had nothing and this was his excuse to orchestrate sept 11. And it does not look like we are winning any war, either. secret war? i just cannot even believe that americans believe that BS! Bush is no better than Saddam or any 3rd world country dictator!!!!

I'm not sure what you are asking here. Did the administration say there were weapons of mass destruction - yes - they did. (http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/10/20021007-8.html)

Did they find them? No. Were they convinced that there were such weapons? i.e Did they unknowingly lie? It seems to me to cause a war with incorrect information (without taking the cautious steps that they were urged to take at the time) is just as bad. Did others in the admin know there weren't any such weapons. There is evidence that the CIA counseled caution. Were people afraid to tell Bush things he did not want to hear? I don't think we will know this for many years and probably only on a he said, he said basis.

SDpickens:

What is your source of information that proves that the story is BS? If there is evidence, I'd like to know about. If it's just your opinion, you know what they say about opinions.
