I read what you said, but frankly, it is irrelevant to the discussion. I addressed this in my first post.
President Bush is the only President of the United States. Regardless of what anyone else said, Democrat or Republican, it was President Bush who led us into this war. It was his responsibility.
I don't understand why you feel the need to turn this into a partisan political discussion. This is about President Bush. It's time he and his supporters start taking responsibility instead of pushing it onto others and saying "well, Clinton/the Dems did it too". It's irrelevant.

No, it's not irrelevant.
The charge is specifically that Powell, Bush, etc. were
lying.
If anything, yours is the partisan position while I am trying to point out that:
a) nothing happens in a vacuum (i.e. there is always more than a simple black and white answer) and
b) the charge ignores what has been going on for the last 20 years or so in Iraq.
Of course the president is ultimately responsible for what happens during his administration, but the repeated mantra of "Liar Liar Liar" is nothing more than mudslinging.
