The Bush administration engaged in an aggressive, overt campaign of deception in order to secure the support of the American public for invading Iraq. The overwhelming pattern of misleading statements has been very well-documented by a federal agency, not by Hollywood conspiracy theorists. Read that report and get back to me, you don't seem to have looked at it yet. It's full of documentation of misleading public statements from the entire administration. Each documented misleading statement includes an explanation as to exactly why each statement was intentionally deceptive. For those too lazy or busy to investigate, here: Statement by President George W. Bush: "We found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories. You remember when Colin Powell stood up in front of the world, and he said, Iraq has got laboratories, mobile labs to build biological weapons. They're illegal. They're against the United Nations resolutions, and we've so far discovered two. And we'll find more weapons as time goes on. But for those who say we haven't found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they're wrong, we found them." Source: Interview of the President by TVP, Poland, White House (5/29/2003). That's a "mistake" or a "lie"? If you want really badly to see something and you try so hard to see it that you convince even yourself that you're seeing it then are you lying or are you just an idiot? Which is worse? If you tell all of your subordinates to go out and not come back until they have brought you intelligence reports that support the conclusion that you have already made in your head, then again, is that a lie or are you just a moron? Either way you're not fit to be president. Is there maybe a Poland exemption in the ethics of lying, like the area code rule in relationships? "It wasn't cheating, anything that happens in another area code isn't cheating." "It wasn't lying because anything that happens in Poland isn't lying." i didn't read a word of this, i don't want the why or the how, just yes or no.. that simple, and like i said, I didn't and won't read any of this, until you post YES OR NO! ugh. for Christ's sake, there's more to the answer than yes or no.
