I don't think that Bush lied because as was said above that would imply some sort of awareness of what is actually true. I also think that this isn't going as far as you believe people are taking it. However, there is one criticism from the left with which i would agree, the fact that he acted on wrong information shows clear lack of good judgment. I say this even though i believe that he was probably mislead by intelligence, no matter what intelligence you have, unless you have a clear and immediate threat, you shouldn't go to war. It is not good judgment to act on supposition no matter from how many people you hear it from. Perhaps, a counter argument is that they truly believed it to be fact, maybe, but i am reminded of a phrase, "The buck stops here", so whether or not it was Bush’s fault he will have to take the blame because ultimately it is his decision and his responsibility.
