what did Bush lie about?

Answer 1

What didn't he lie about?

Answer 2

For a detailed account of GWB I recommend reading some actual & accurate documented biographical accounts and then you can judge for yourself. A lot of the accusations you will find on the web are emotionally charged and not objective.

I recommend the following three books:

A Matter of Charcter - Ronald Kessler
Misunderestimated - Bill Sammon
Strategery - Bill Sammon

Also some period specific books by Bob Woodward, while rather dry are extremely well documented and historically accurate.

I would avoid politically charged, motivated and partisan pieces such as things by Michael Moore, Molly Ivans, Rush Limbaugh, Al Franken, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Michael Savage, Bill Press, etc... These commentaries make great political parody & entertainment IMHO, but are worthless as factual references. They may have many actual facts, but they're framed in a very partisan way which will make objective research difficult. Also, many of these books try to connect the dots to draw a conclusion of the author. Sometimes, what we really have is a page full of dots and no conspiracy at all.

In short, there is no brief, quick answer myself or anyone else here can give you - you will have to do some research and reach those conclusions on your own after fairly studying the evidence. Good luck with that.

Answer 3

It has not been so much as him lying outright, but handling all situations badly.

With Iraq, Bush's approach was this so easy and will be over so quick. Then predictably when it wasn't he complains about unforeseen problems. The guy honestly thought that it would be so easy that he sent a bunch of college kids with strong republican ties over to Iraq to handle major rebuilding projects instead of sending experts. Predictably many of those projects failed or were delayed because of how they were handled.

Answer 4

well, WMD that have never been found. Mobile chem weapon vans that were really mobile weather data gathering vehicles. That Iraq was involved in 9/11 after we ID'd 15 terrorists were Saudi Arabia, 3 from Iran & 1 from Yemen. That noone could have forseen the levies failing when there is video of him being told that very thing days before Katrina made landfall.
The biggest overall lie is what his REAL agenda is vs what he tells the American people. It would be faster and shorter to ask what hasn't he lied about. He said he wouldn't start up the draft and so far, so good.

Answer 5

You would use up a whole lot less space on the old harddrive if you were to store the answers to "what DIDN`T bush lie about"?

Answer 6

Bush has lied about almost everything, starting before he was Gov. in Texas. Here is a list of some of them:

The list would be much smaller if you asked what didn't he lie about.
