Never Forget: Shrub lied us into a war

http://www.salon.com/2015/02/10/yes_bush_lied_about_iraq_why_are_we_still_arguing_about_this/

snip:
But the Bush administration absolutely did engage in willful deception. Quite a bit of it, in fact. It’s one thing to simply repeat an intelligence assessment that is wrong, and quite another to take a disputed, credibly challenged intelligence assessment and state it as uncontested fact. That’s a lie, and senior Bush officials did it often. There’s no better example of this than the aluminum tubes.


Really, Brian Williams and his lie about Iraq. Shrub continues to get a pass for being the National Prevaricator. Smarmy puppet for Darth Cheney spouting lie after lie. Just thinking about causes my BP to go up like a Mentos in a Pepsi bottle.
