The answer is No...this is a good reflection on why he didn't lie.

    I have seen no evidence of that. Cheny even said (talk about fallacy) that the fact none were found proves they were there. Evidence of nothing proves nothing.

    Esceptico.. President Bush would have certainly been impeached had he done nothing about 9 1 1...All the brave and tough guys forget how scared America was after that unbelievable, terrifying attack. Had Bush found out it could be blamed on a country, he could have secured a mandate to carpet nuke that country,,.. but there was no such country to blame...just a bearded, rag tag bunch of dedicated men who pulled off the greatest military strike of the human race..evil or not,, it was scary...Anyone pretending that America was not hot for revenge is lying or was asleep. What you have done to retaliate??? have peace talks?

    edweaver...My memory of the time is that our CIA lied when they told Bush that there definitely were WMDs found in Iraq. I remember thinking that someone from the CIA,. Director Tenet for example, should have gone to jail permanently for such a story. But no one was punished, or even accused. The president could hardly be expected to go to Iraq and search, but he is expected to appoint competent and honest aides...perhaps there are no such people in the Federal government..or perhaps my memory is faulty. Memories are not as lasting as lies. As usual, names were changed to protect the guilty..

    How can any of us know if Bush lied? Given the nature of government in general and Bush in particular, I would vote yes he lied.

    "Even the worst dictators convince themselves that their war mission is justified, if not noble. Does anyone think the war promoters in or out of government, such as the neoconservatives who provoked the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, have a sense of guilt for the carnage and the economic havoc their wars have brought?"

    Well, that lady showered me with facts only to reinforce what I've thought all along.
    And I was already thinking that there is a big difference between a mistake and a lie before I heard her say it.
    I do have another observation about that: It is the professional liars (politicians/media/Soros type dudes) who call Bush a liar.

    As always, it is easier to be dumb than lie, or as some in the DOD have told me "Don't assume a plot when incompetence is a possibility".

    Okay, I now watched it. And I saw nothing in it that makes me change my mind. Personally, I did not believe it from the very beginning and until cold hard truth is presented, there is nothing that will change my mind. IMHO, Saddam was a bad man but we took a region that was fairly stable and made it a disaster. Of course, Obama has made it worse but we need to stay out of other people business.

    Not until isis found a stach in the northern parts...what was it, last year or the year before.
    Prager states it correctly...he did have them and he did use them and would of continued to do so.
    Not to mention, do what ever they had to...to hide them.

    One of my former students found some of Saddam's weapons in Syria. Of course, none were found in Iraq. How long was it that we telegraphed we were going in there? 1 year?

    I don't believe Bush lied but I suspect someone lied to Bush. I have no proof. It is opinion based on my trust of government and of course I could be wrong.

    Statist coverup BS.
    This is the same old tale that the statists trot out to cover the guilty asses of the looter scum in charge.
    "Our information was incorrect, but it came from good reliable sources and we believed it."
    BS
    Still lying.
    Misguided good people? BS
    Cui Bono.

    I never thought he lied but it did become obvious that they had no clear plan on how to deal with a post Saddam Iraq. For all of their bloviating Obama, Biden and Hillary made a similar mistake in Libya, No plan just war.

    WMD Quotes from Democrats
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xnjco...

    The iconic head of the Dem Party, Jay Rockefeller, was Chair of the Sen Intel Comm and personally called for every Dem to endorse the War Powers Act on the Sen floor the day before its adoption. Despicable frailty and betrayal to argue then otherwise later.

    I like that Preger begins with the need for clarity, and honesty. That's where the leviathan has failed us. The book "Legacy of Ashes" tells the horrible tale of this motley crew.

    Good article.
    I agree the answer is 'No'.
    Chemical weapons were used and there is strong evidence of research on biological weapons.

    This is an interesting contrast with opinions on Iran. The Iranian government say they are not producing nuclear weapons. Bush's successor does not confirm or deny but seems relaxed either way.
