Actually Clinton didn't lie. The oft quoted statement was "I did not have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky" Sex is a physical act of procreation. Clinton got a bj. That is totally different than actually having sex. No one died from this statement.
Bush stated that Saddam had WDM, was enriching uranium to make nuclear weapons, and was involved in 911. These statements all turned out to be false. There is ample evidence that intelligence was fixed around these lies to justify an illegal war. Over 2,500 (and growing) American service members and well over 10,000 Iraqi's, many of whom were innocent civilians, have died as a result of this lie.

Why does everyone always comment about Bush follow up with Clinton. They both are politicians....outright lying is the nature of this business.
The fact is people need to spend more time looking at it from the point of view as the lesser of two evils...simple and plain!
BTW...Saying a country has WMD and going to to a full blown out war about WMDs are completely different. From this standpoint I guess we can assume whom the scale is tipping towards as far as evil goes!
I am still not sure why people are so surprised when someone in politics blantantly lies. I suppose it must be shattering for one to believe that they can't trust thier government? Like your lover has betrayed you. If you knew your lover was/is promiscuous would that surprise you? I seriously doubt it!

The facts regarding WMD in Iraq are these:
- Iraq had such weapons: it used them.
- WMD's were in fact found in Iraq after the war, consisting of some 500 artillery shells which had been loaded with mustard gas and Sarin.
- Only 250 out of some 10,000 Iraqi arsenal sites have actually been searched for WMD's. We don't know that there are more weapons, but there could be.
- Most of the Iraqi WMD's, amounting to several thousand tons, were shipped to Syria (disguised as relief supplies) in June 2002 when Saddam began feeling intense pressure.
Given these facts, all of which are fully documented, any supposition that Bush or anyone else in the administration lied about WMD's is hogwash.

Bush lied along with England, France, Russia, Germany, and the UN. They all stated that Saddam had WMD's. Also if you are really want to be honest Clinton also stated that Iraq had WMD'S in two public speeches. Research the whole story not just the part you like or want to hear.

That he lied about WMDs is a liberal montra that is based on absolutely nothing. He never said they had nuclear weapons, just that they were continuing to harbor the ability, and possibly to be covertly continuing their nuclear program. And that Hussein had not accounted for the chemical and biological weapons that were known to be there. They still have not been accounted for, for that matter. We may unfortunately find out where they went the hard way some day. As for why Bush chose to go on the offensive..... I have no doubt that Hussein would have eventually played a big part in major terrorism and probably outright attack on Israel. A bigger part than giving families of suicide murderers 25,000 dollars each. Hate Pres. Bush all you like, but I don't have the hate in me. By the way, I am Christian and believe that war is never the right action. "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the high places." Eph. 6:12. But we do not rely on God for our protection....we do not have the faith as a nation. I do believe that it is in His permissive will for war to occur for those nations defending freedom and religious liberty. I do support our troops who believe that they are doing the right thing, even though I believe that as a nation we would be more right if we surrendered to God and allowed Him to be our protection. I have few people who agree with me in any camp, but that is how I see it. May God bless you.

They have cut a lot of this Governmant document out, but if you have Adobe reader you can still read the Government memos over Rumsfeld and the oil pipelines and about Haliburton, Carlyle and Bechtel...The war is over the pipelines to Isreal that pass right into Lebanon "HUH" amazing isn't it...

Bush also lied about withdrawing his troops from the Balkans once he is elected president of the USA. Or maybe he shares the opinion that "he wasn't actually elected president" in 2000.
As for Penis Clinton's lies: In 1998 the Greek foreign minister, Theodoros Pangalos, rightly called him a shameless liar.
What did he lie about!? War crimes "commited by Serbs", for example. Another one is "not showing" his penis to Paula Jones and "not having" sex with Miss Lewinsky.

Warpig, go blow yourself up. You kids are playing around. The truth is Bush ordered the deaths of 3000 Americans, Cheney was at the helm and made it so! Do your homework kids or go play hop scotch. Bush & Cheney our full blown Nazi's they want to see an end to this country and they are willing to kill millions to have their way. Now, go fish!

Don't you know that a semen stain on a dress is more morally offensive to the amoral majority than the deaths of thousands of young Americans and tens of thousands of Iraqis?
