It’s hard to believe but some people still assert that President Bush was somehow “misled” by poor intelligence into attacking Iraq.

We’ll look at some of the 55 documented lies of Bush on the matter.

A lie occurs when a false impression is made knowingly. That includes exaggerations and omissions used to create that false impression.

Bush Lie #1

Statement: "We recently found two mobile biological weapons facilities which were capable of producing biological agents."
Source: President Talks to Troops in Qatar, White House (6/5/2003).

Fact: the Defense Intelligence Agency who examined the trailers concluded that they were most likely used to produce hydrogen for artillery weather balloons.

Lie: This statement was a lie because it claimed the purpose of the trailers was to produce biological weapons in contradiction of the intelligence provided.


Bush Lie #2

Statement: "Here's what -- we've discovered a weapons system, biological labs, that Iraq denied she had, and labs that were prohibited under the U.N. resolutions."
Source: President Bush, Russian President Putin Sign Treaty of Moscow, White House (6/1/2003).

Fact: This statement was a lie because it claimed the purpose of the trailers was to produce biological weapons in contradiction of the intelligence provided.

Lie: This statement was a lie because it claimed the purpose of the trailers was to produce biological weapons in contradiction of the intelligence provided.


Bush Lie #3

Statement: "The regime . . . has aided, trained and harbored terrorists, including operatives of al Qaeda. The danger is clear: using chemical, biological or, one day, nuclear weapons, obtained with the help of Iraq, the terrorists could fulfill their stated ambitions and kill thousands or hundreds of thousands of innocent people in our country, or any other."
Source: President Says Saddam Hussein Must Leave Iraq Within 48 Hours, White House (3/17/2003).

Fact: This statement is a lie because it suggested that Iraq, at the time, was providing support to al Qaeda. The U.S. intelligence community had conflicting evidence on this issue and was divided regarding whether there was an operational relationship. Bush omitted this part of the matter in his statement to push Iraq as a threat to us. This statement also was misleading because it evoked the threat of Iraq providing al Qaeda with weapons of mass destruction. According to the National Intelligence Estimate, the intelligence community had "low confidence" in that scenario.

Lie. Omitting relevant, key countervailing information is lying.

Only 52 more to go. And that’s just Bush’s lies.

Harry Reid's one big lie:

Lie: The War is Lost
Fact: Harry Reid is a turd.

Bush Lie #4
Here's one of my favorite lies from Bush:

"We gave him a chance to allow the inspectors in, and he wouldn't let them in." -- Press Conference (7/14/2003).

18 November 2002: Hans Blix leads UN inspectors back to Baghdad to start their mission.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2167933.stm

Bush orders illegal invasion of Iraq on March 20, 2003.

According the facts, the WMD inspectors were inspecting Iraq since November of 2002.

Either Bush is an ingnoramus of epic proportion or he is lying. There is no middle ground.

Actually this one couldn't be definitively proven either way. There was plenty of evidence (not open to public) that I saw that showed AQ operatives meeting with Saddam's generals or government officials.

Bush Lie #5 (Note: There're so many more than 55 lies by Bush)

Statement: "After the chaos and carnage of September the 11th, it is not enough to serve our enemies with legal papers. The terrorists and their supporters declared war on the United States, and war is what they got. Some in this chamber, and in our country, did not support the liberation of Iraq."

Fact:Iraq did not attack the US on 9/11.

Lie:Bush characterizes the illegal invasion of Iraq as a legitimate act of self defense against Iraq which attacked us on 9/11. Iraq did not attack the US on 9/11.

Let's not forget the Oil-for-Food scandal where UN officials were paid off. Plus, let us also not forget Russia warning Iraq of our invasion plans. Also, let us not forget that the USA was not the only intel community that said Iraq had WMDs - there were close to a dozen others that also said what the USA said.

Wow, so no attacks yet? I thought one of my posts would have prompted a response. Dang.

If that's the case, then why is Bush saying unequivocally that Iraq is working with Al Qaeda?

That's called fraud b/c he is cherrypicking which information he's telling the american people.
