The non-partisan issue is HOW MUCH Bush's admin lied. That is NOT an unreasonable question.

The unsupportable assumption is that the Bush admin knowingly made false statements

We're talking about politicians lying right? I guess I don't understand why folks would get excited over this. This is what they are famous for doing.
As for whether Bush lied: what he told us turned out to be not true. Saying that he was misinformed just sounds like a cheap excuse. I'm not sure which is worse, a guy that lies, or a guy that will go to war based on someone else's lies.

I think Tom is on to something. Some Presidents seem to come off as more trustworthy, and some seem to come off as more slick or deceptive. I'm also not sure how many Americans really trust the news media. While the news media may have an agenda in any given situation, they are not always able to successfully convince the public to go along with them.

As opposed to the Clinton lies about our mission in Somalia or the Clinton lies about our mission in Serbia. Next we can discuss the Kennedy and LBJ lies that got us into Vietnam.Originally posted by Tony Alicea:
At least Clinton's admin was lying about oral sex (e.g. saying it was not sex. BORING)

Bush's lies and/or lack of info are costing unnecessary human lives.

Link to an actual statement by Cheney or Powell, please? My impression is that the actual situation, vice what was reported in the headlines, was that some people in the administration lower down had suspicions that some but not all of the evidence was questionable. Lack of evidence is not evidence of falsehood.
