Liberals keep saying "Bush lied". Please tell me one lie President Bush has told.?

Question

Be specific, and try to make sense.

Olderandwiser:
1. Iraq has weapons of mass destruction.
We've found hundreds of chemical weopons. Its well documented that he used chemical weopons on his own people.

2. Iraq supports terrorists.
Sadam was paying the families of dead suicide terrorists.

3. Iraq was involved with the 9/11 terrorists and supported them
He never said that.

4. That he's a Christian(fooled the whole religious right with that one!!)
Of course he is.

5. That he was not involved in the banking scandal in Texas
He wasn't, there's no evidence he was.

6. That he served in the National Guard( he never showed up except to have his picture taken)
He did, and was honorably discharged.

7. That he would take care of health care for all( campaign promise)
Not a lie, something he's tried to do, but it isn't easy.

Olderandwiser, you missed the one lie he did tell; he said Islam is a peaceful religion.

Kubrickian:
I re-read the 2003 state of the union address. It does not say "we know where they are". It does say:
"The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed in the 1990s that Saddam Hussein had an advanced nuclear weapons development program, had a design for a nuclear weapon and was working on five different methods of enriching uranium for a bomb. The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa. Our intelligence sources tell us that he has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes suitable for nuclear weapons production. Saddam Hussein has not credibly explained these activities."

Answer 1

"I never did Cocaine."

Answer 2

OK let's see if I can remember all of them

1. Iraq has weapons of mass destruction.
2. Iraq supports terrorists.
3. Iraq was involved with the 9/11 terrorists and supported them
4. That he's a Christian(fooled the whole religious right with that one!!)
5. That he was not involved in the banking scandal in Texas
6. That he served in the National Guard( he never showed up except to have his picture taken)
7. That he would take care of health care for all( campaign promise)
I'm sure that I forgot a whole bunch, but you get the idea. He has admitted lying about Iraq. So you can't dis that one it came from GWB himself!!!

Answer 3

No weapons of mass destruction were found. The conclusion of the chief weapons inspector is that the weapons were destroyed. Nothing has EVER come along to change that.

Rick Santorum hyping some misleading information about Persian gulf war weapons is irrelevent - such things can no more be considered WMD "finds" than could an old world war II mine if it washed up on shore....

Answer 4

"The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."-George W. Bush. The documents he was referring to had been known at that time to be false.

Answer 5

There are so many to choose from, but I'll stick to a very one in the interest of answering your query for only one:
"The evidence indicates that Iraq is reconstituting its nuclear weapons program ... Iraq has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes and other equipment needed for gas centrifuges, which are used to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons." -- President Bush, Oct. 7, 2002, in Cincinnati.

The evidence was doctored, botched, trumped up, and Bush knew it. He used this lie to launch the Iraqi war, a war we continue to fight, a war that was launched on fear, lies, and false pretenses.

Answer 6

The thing they accuse him of lying about is Weapons of Mass Destruction but a ton of Democrats said Saddam had them before Bush was ever President, so if Bush ever realyl did lie then so did the Democrats

Answer 7

"My jobs and growth plan would reduce tax rates for everyone who pays income tax." (April 2003) An unspecified number of low- and middle-income families received no tax cut at all because they'd been excluded from an expansion of the child-care tax

In 2002, our economy was still recovering from the attacks of September the 11th, 2001, and it was pulling out of a recession that began before I took office." (Dec 2003) In fact, there is no evidence that the economy was in recession when President Bush took the oath of office on Jan. 20, 2001.

Bush said he favored "equal" rights for gays and lesbians, but not "special" rights.

But he has supported a Texas law that allows the state to take adopted children from gay and lesbian couples to place the kids with straight couples.

Whether you call it a misstatement or a misrepresentation, it adds up to the same results: he is not being honest with America.

Answer 8

Iraq has weapons of mass destruction...We know where they are- State of the Union Address, 2003

Answer 9

How about violation of his oath of office to faithfully execute the laws and to support the Constitution?

He's admitted willfully violating federal laws during his first term office and he's said that the Constitution is "just a g*d*mn piece of paper". So, when he took his oath at the start of his second term, he was foresworn then and there.

Isn't that enough, or do you only mean factual statements that were designed to mislead the American people in order to justify his personal political agenda?

Answer 10

12/15/04 he uttered 'justice ought to be fair' in his speech. No matter what cliche he leans on as a crutch to perpetuate his ideals and solutions for improvement , even he certainly must know, at the end of the day, justice is dependent upon various mitigating circumstances. Sometimes it is fair. Oftentimes it has been disputed otherwise.

Answer 11

WDM's in Iraq, Iraq involvement in 9/11, legality of big brother tactics. Technically, I guess you could say, the press and his administration lied to him and he simply repeated the lie, but then we have an idiot for president.
