I'm sick of this. If Bush lied, then EVERY President and Presidential candidate since Reagan has lied.
Clinton lived 8 years as president with all the best information going DIRECTLY to him, there was no doubt in his mind Saddam was armed with WMD's and was dangerous. He even agreed that the US should probably invade and kick him out of power.
Kerry has been a senator for a very long time, including on the security councel (second in line for the best info). He's been quoted as saying the same thing, he's armed with WMD's and should be taken out.
Liberman, right there with the others.
If Bush lied then everyone is everyone else just as guilty? It was bad information that snowballed and became fact (remember memogate?). What needs to happen is a true change in the information community, which is admittedly slow, but is happening. What we dont need is a witchhunt for a scapegoat based solely on party lines.
