That depends entirely on if you believe all those attacks had nothing to do with "Wag the Dog" policy...
This is also disingenuous.
What does 9-11 have to do with Iraq... BUSH: "Nuthing"

This is also disingenuous.

Just for clarification . . .
Are you saying that the administration did not attempt to conflate Iraq with 9/11? It seems to me that, at the time, they were indeed attempting to justify the invasion of Iraq by association with the 9/11/2001 attacks.
No, I am saying that they didn't lie while they did. The whole "he lied" thing doesn't fit here.

won't make any difference with the Bushites Cypress. Even though they claim to no longer support Bush, their words betray their true feelings.
Some of the even go so far as to call themselves Libretarians
But they are still bushites.
Bush's letter to congress, outlining his decision to go to war, clearly states that his decision is consistent with confronting nations that were involved in the 9/11 attacks.
He directly stated from the beginning that there was no evidence that Iraq was involved in 9/11, that is not "a misleading impression"...
I get so tired of this inane "he lied" crap. At least point to a place where he did lie rather than this silly "if you interpret it MY way then he is a liar here!" garbage. It is tired, it takes waaaaay too long to explain and it just isn't getting you anywhere. At least point to the "We're sure there are WMD in there!" stuff.
are you retarded? He said the same thing years ago.

No, I'm pretty sure it wasn't until after bush got his war, that bush publically stated that iraq had nothing to do with the 9/11 attack.
