What "lies" is Bush guilt of?

Question

Definitions of lie at Dictionary.com. ... 1. a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth.

Those who just want to rant, save your breath, I've already heard from you more than enough.

I am looking for anyone that can DOCUMENT a lie that Bush has told.

Documentation that refers to persons "opinion" won't count.

Only references and documentation that demonstrate the definition above will count.

I am not interested in the normal everyday practice of political speech as practiced by both democrat and republican.

List the things that Bush has said that he had proof positive knowledge BEFORE he said them, that they were not true.

If he is a liar...let's have the proof please.

Again, look at the definition of the term. Finding out something is not true after the fact is not a lie and NO ONE has pointed to any reference that Bush had foreknowledge that any statements or assertions were false.

This is NOT a discussion about "opinions". Thus the rigor in stating the question and additional clarification.

This isn't about legal evidence either. Words MEAN something. If you believe he is a liar...it is fine to just hold that as an unsubstantiated opinion or rumor.

But if you have any integrity at all then you would seek proof of the accusation simply for reasons of your own character.

I have looked at the claims people make about him being a liar. NOT ONE can be substantiated in anything other than the opinion of the person believing it to be true.

And apparently, no one here has a clue as to whether it is actually true and correct as a lablel.

That it defames a President is all that is needed.

Clinton actually DID lie. I did not have..

Answer 1

Liberals cannot honestly say Bush lied about anything. Liberals don't even know what the true definition of the word lie is, much like Clinton who would not even admit what the definition of the word "is" is.
As for WMD in Iraq, google this: Iraq chemical weapons factory. You will see that we have found loads of WMD in Iraq.
As for the yellow cake lies Joe Wilson tells, Wilson's own report suggested that Saddam did try to buy it from Niger, and then Wilson went around lying about his own report.
Liberal scum...

Answer 2

Amen to that! A lie has intent. President Bush based his decision on the best, most reliable information available at the time. Information that the world believed to be true as well.

Back in the way back days... Everyone was convinced the Earth was flat until Columbus sailed the seas in search of the Orient. Was everyone lying? Were they trying to deceive the masses into believing that there was nothing else out there beyond the seas to conspiratorily prevent them from exploring and prospering? Of course not!

There is not a shred of proof to offer up because it didn't happen. Liberals like to change the definition of words to suit their political and personal agendas. What does "is" mean again?

Answer 3

This is the most secretive administration in history, and from that they reap a bumper crop of plausible deniability, which is all they need, apparently, to keep you happy.

I prefer beyond a reasonable doubt, or even a preponderance of the evidence, but these fellows refuse to testify to anything under oath. Imagine for a moment the target of ANY dept of Justice investigation refusing to testify under oath. You would immediately ask what they were trying to hide, wouldn't you? I know President Bush would.

So you're right. Nobody can prove that the president wasn't horribly, persistently, gullibly, and utterly misled by those he selected to give him and us the hinghest possible level of professional service to the nation. So he can be handily convicted of lacking sound judgement.


The closest we have is the statement as late as Feb 2003 that there were "no plans to attack Iraq on his desk". They may not have been actually ON his desk, but they were damnsure in the Oval Office. That's close enough for me to see the guy's drift. The rest is all too easy to read between the lines.

Answer 4

Look up the Niger document. He presented that in front of Congress (lying to Congress is a felony) as justification for invading Iraq. He knew it was false and was advised by George Tenet, former CIA Director to not use it because it was a forgery. As further proof of this it was removed from a speech made two weeks prior to his Congressional speech due to its questionable nature. It didn't even have the correct president of Niger, you and I could have Googled "President of Niger" and figured out this document was a forgery.

Here is an excerpt form its analysis:
1. Of interest on this document is the crude
"hand draw" style of the seal on the letterhead.
Also it doesn't match either version the official
seal of the country.

2. The letter refers to the power granted under
the constitution of 1966. That constitution was
suspended in 1991 and a new one established in
1993. Anything written after that date would refer
to the current constitution.

3. When reviewed by the IAEA, the signature of
Niger's President Tandja Mamadou was ruled to be
not even close to the of the President, and was a
"chidlike" forgery .

Hey Abdulnonoodle, Googled I(Actually Yahooed) Iraq Chemical Weapons Plants and the only thing that came up was two stories that talked about "Alleged' and "Suspected" Chemical weapons. and the stories are from like 2003. I remember both of these and they were later proved to be basic fertalizers and farming chemicals. By the way did you know that Saddam got his Chemical and Biological weapons from the U.S. and Don Rumsfeld starting back in the 1979? Also Chemical Weapons which were last produced in Iraq in 1995 have a shelf life of 3 years and are no longer weaponizable. Biological weapons that were again last manufactured in 1995 have a shelf life of 6 months and then they are no longer weaponizable. But regardless what they did have we gave them. Saddam was also executed for killing 185 Shiites who tried to overthrow the government in 1982 and they were killed with the Chemical weapons we provided him with and then we replenished them afterwards and dropped on the People by US made helicopters. Nice huh?

Answer 5

Actually the most blatant lie in American presidential history was by one of our better presidents, Dwight Eisenhower.

The Soviet Union announced that they had shot down a U2 spy plane trespassing over their territory. That was on Friday.

Oh no no no, Ike told the American people on US television. no way would we send spy planes over the USSR. No no no. It could not happen. Khrushchev is lying.

Surprise. The next day, the pilot, Francis Gary Powers, appeared on Moscow television, alive and well. He was then on prime time Saturday night television for Americans. He had indeed been shot down but, remarkably, ejected safely from his U2. The US State Department had assumed that he would be dead since the aircraft was flying at 80,000 feet.

So Ike had egg on his face, exposed to the world as having lied through his teeth. Very sad, because - unlike the Decider - Ike was a decent and honorable Republican president

As to our beloved King Stay-the-Course, let's start with all those pesky WMDs, and don't forget "Mission accomplished."

Answer 6

The lie about Saddam going to Africa to get uranium. It was proved untrue and Bush was told that this did not happen. Yet he still included a statement in his State of The Union statement. This is why Wilson printed his editorial in the paper, he knew it was a lie and that Bush knew it was not true. That is just one lie, he has committed many, many more.

Answer 7

Bush has said some things that have turned out to be untrue, primarily dealing with weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, the primary justification for our war in Iraq. However, it cannot be shown that the President intentionally said anything he knew to be false. Therefore, it cannot be shown that President Bush ever lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

He may have lied, it cannot be proven though.

Answer 8

This is really quite easy to answer. However, like all Bush supporters, you will just ignore the facts and go on spouting your bs. Here is a site that has quite a few, but not all of the Bush lies. The list is endless.
http://www.bushlies.net/

Like I said, you just choose to ignore the facts.

Answer 9

You can call someone a liar, as an expression of your opinion, without needing to prove it. You are not a judge, and this is not a court of law. Asking someone to legally document their hypothesis of what happened is ridiculous.

If you were asking for proof for a legal opinion, that would make sense. If you were asking for proof of something the Constitution does or does not provide, that would make sense as well. You are asking people to prove something they are stating as their OPINION, and that's kind of ridiculous.

That said, I never said Bush lied. I do think he deliberately manipulated the American people. The proof lies in the fact that the majority of Americans who still support the war, support it because they believe that the terrorists who attacked this country had something to do with Iraq.
