Nope, I'm not saying she's a liar, anymore than I'm saying the Dems lied. What they did was to rely on information they received from those they trusted. That's a far cry from lying. Here's what bothers me though ... The Dems completely disregard the fact that most in the Congress and Senate, including the Dems, said the very same things about Saddam's WMD, but have conveniently "forgotten" this to further their agendas. The "Bush Lied" mantra doesn't sell anymore. Its false and dishonest.

Vi, i gotta disagree. not with what you posted, but with your opinion. we're all aware that 'intelligence' from here and other countries were said to implicate Sadam's WMDs. That was the case made by this administration. Where we differ is that you BELIEVE the the administration, I do not.
Just months before 9/11 Rice and Powel are on record as saying Sadam was a nobody with no capabilities. After 9/11 he's suddenly public enemy #1. The charges trumpted up against him were false. Powel said so later.
Its painfully obvious that the 'intelligence' against him was not wrong, it was a lie. Senaters and representatives are on record as saying that there was two sets of briefs going around. one saying that he has no defences and the other saying he was a threat because no one knew what he had. sound a bit like the case being made against Iran right now, doesn't it?
You and I dont know only but what they tell us. but i refuse to believe that the best intel money can buy & the best men and technology in the world can fuck up so badly. The U.S. has good people in intelligence. The president simply lied. Its happened plenty of times before, it happened now.
i think you're succumbing to party loyalty here. if a dem president did what bush did, you'd be screaming bloody liar, by now.
