ace..explain to me how this is not a lie? On Meet the Press, Feb 04:
President Bush: I went to Congress with the same intelligence — Congress saw the same intelligence I had, and they looked at exactly what I looked at, and they made an informed judgment based upon the information that I had. The same information, by the way, that my predecessor had. And all of us, you know, made this judgment that Saddam Hussein needed to be removed.

If your criticism of Bush is based on his communication skills, I can not argue that point. However, the way I understand what he said in the quote above, based on the fact that he says "...the same information...my predecessor had..", that he refers to general information that was commonly known. I think that information was the basis of his desire to invade Iraq. That was the basis of my support of the war.
Also, I have no idea what he had that Congress did not see, or that the Clinton administration did not have.
