I've never been a fan of Bush - and of course he lied - all politians do. There were no WMD - just oil. Remember, his father used to deal in arms with the Iraqi's. They never troubled the USA. Don't get me started on this subject, please!
Oh yeah - and remember intelligence is gathered by people - and people can interpret things they want to. So Bush has the last say on how things are done and he made the ultimate choice. So you can put your thumbs down but I think that proves how ignorant you really are trusting a politian.

As a former member of Navy Intelligence, I feel I have a feasible perspective on this question. Bush didn't exactly lie, but he 'cherry-picked' the intelligence on Iraq. What does this mean?
Let's say the mission is to determine if Paris Hilton is at the local mall. (If I chose a real mission, I'd end up in Gitmo, and I really don't want that to happen). Okay, so your friendly Navy Intelligence dude says she was there. That would be 'A val' ('A' validity). If an ally (if we have any of those these days) said he saw her, that would probably be 'B' val. If quasi-reliable spies from, say, Bali Hai, saw her, we could call that 'C' val.
Apply that to Iraq. Some C val reports came in that Saddam had WMD. "Got to go to war!" says King George the Moron. "Intelligence says so!" And off we go to a never-ending tragic war.
Conclusion: when one is in a position of authority, and has a pre-determined decision, one can justify any way one likes.

On the subject of 9/11 we know the Flight Numbers of the 3 crashed planes.
But I dont recall the Flight No of the one that hit the Pentagon and what happened to the wings and engines.
All we seen was a neat hole (certainly looked like a Missile hit).
I do believe there is a cover-up,I just feel sorry for all the Innocent people and their families who died on that day.
May they rest in peace, unfortunately there are still soldiers dying today.But also innocents Iraq es,still theres no Water or Electricity in many parts of Iraq.
The Iraq War has brought more trouble than it solved.

Let Me see could it be the.
100 + flights out of the USA for Saudi nationals including 24 of the bin laden family in the days after 9/11 despite the FAA ban on flights.
15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers where Saudis.
or the proved Business links between g w bush and the bin laden family.
if i had been one of the people who believed the crap that came out of the whorehouse sorry that's white house(spell checker) or number 10 i would be beating myself as enthusiastically as any good shite,
WMD, Chemical, Biological, weapons who has more of these than the USA, it wouldn't surprise me that the recent foot and mouth outbreaks round the American run research centre in purbright are not economic black mail to keep our troops in Iraq. SHAME ON YOU GEORGE.

An outright lie really can't be proven, but it doesn't look like the adminstration was being totally truthful with us. The Iraq campaign was never about WMDs, Saddam, or Freedom Fries. It was the first step toward a major a permanent US military presence in the mideast, Iraq was simply a soft target. The larger objective is the expansion of American corporate interests in the region with US military security. This is all part of the PNAC gameplan devised during the mid to late 90's. The plan involved a need for a "new Pearl Harbor" to generate support. Cheney, Wolfowitz, and Rumsfeld all were part of PNAC.
I don't know about you, but I'm finding it less and less possible to believe in coincidence.

I think George W. Bush sincerely believed every word he said.
Just like millions of ignorant goobers all over the land believe every word they say, when they tell you flying saucers are real.
And if all those millions of goobers had the CIA, the FBI, the NSA and all the rest of the government's spooks working for them, they'd still find a way to convince themselves the evidence added up to the conclusion they'd already decided on in the first place.
Just like George W. Bush.
The main difference between George W. Bush and all the other goobers who believed ridiculous things about Iraq and Saddam Hussein?
Only George W. Bush was dumb enough to actually spend half a trillion dollars on the basis of that stupidity.

Yes, and the reason I know he lied is because the American and British governments have lied to us for decades and continue to do so
Reason, when politicians are elected they look after their own pockets and ignore the people who elected them to their illustrious positions.
Blier is an example, look at the public money he is earning now and for what just to promote and maintain the state of Israel in return for the favours he accepted when he was P. M.

A surprising number of Americans believe that Saddam's Iraq was directly or indirectly responsible for 11/9. Bush exploited that ignorance to gain support for what does seem a strange choice of target.
The other factor is that the threat Iraq posed to western security was grossly overestimated. Whether that constitutes deliberate lying is a moot point.

George Bush may not have lied to your nation about Saddam, but did he declare all the reasons he had for entering Iraq ?

No. Carter gutted the CIA back in the 70s leaving this country blind and dependent upon foreign intel services. Reagan sold WMD technology to Saddam. Clinton was too busy and the U.N too corrupt to support the Weapons inspections -- the 1st Chief Weapons Inspector resigned in disgust. And finally, an Iraqi chemical engineer defected to Germany and told a convincing tale of a weapons build-up. We were never allowed to question him directly and had no operatives working in the region. He now admits he lied.
