It's amazing how much this one needs repeated explanations ad nausium. <_<
It seems you have very little idea of exactly what it is the people refer to as the lie so here it is . . .
An example of a truthful statement: "We have evidence suggesting that Iraq might be harbouring weapons of mass destruction."
An example of an untruthful statement: "We have proof the Iraq is harbouring weapons of mass destruction.
There's your lie. Obviously you'd have to have a pretty freakish interpretation of the word "proof" for that statement to work, but equally obviously nuance appears to be lost on Bush supporters. <_< Trying to twist it into a story about whether or not such weapons are actually there is just BS. :angry:
Quote:And it is a lie itself that Bush lied.
Quote:Even the French said Saddam had WMD, and in the 90's the UN said Saddam had WMD, and Bill Clinton said Saddam had WMD, so this story has no legs. If Bush lied, the whole damn world lied right there with him and for years in advance of Bush deciding to run for president. This lie dries up and blows away at the slightest scrutiny.
