In my own research, it is clear to me Bush, and the highest levels of the administration were well informed that the WMD issue was in question on multiple fronts. Yet by using this cause as the primary justification, and indeed the reason given to the UN, he was not truthful....period. Added to this is the continuation of withholding information, as well as Using the vacuum of data to create a fear in the population designed to garner support, and the term deception almost seems kind.
Trying to spin this as an error in judgment ( as that is all you have left) does not convince me, nor many others that he was truthful.
