You may recall that it was suspected that the Iraqi’s hid their WMDs in Syria.  Syria’s ruling party was the same as that of Iraq’s, the Ba’ath party, which was modeled after the Nazi party.  The question has been raised, where did Syria acquire the chemical agents it has used recently?  Isn’t it possible that they are the WMDs acquired from Iraq as some intelligence experts suspect?
The point is, Bush didn’t lie.  A lie is a known falsehood told to people in order to deceive and to manipulate a specific outcome.  “If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor” is a good example of a lie.  “I did not have sexual relations with that woman” is another example of a lie.  Presenting collaborative intelligence from numerous countries that indicate the manufacture of WMDs, along with Iraq’s refusal to fully cooperate with UN inspection teams looking specifically for such evidence; that’s not a lie.  To call it a lie is the lie.
