Bush lied, People died

It's funny how people call Bush a liar and yet they have no evidence
for it.

They point to Iraq and say, "Look! No WMD's! Bush was lying!"

Well, was he?

Bush and many people in his Cabinet DID say Iraq had WMD's, and 500
such weapons have been FOUND in Iraq, albeit old and rather decrepit.
So let's assume those don't count. Let's assume Iraq doesn't have
WMD's. Does that make Bush a liar, or somebody who was "fooled" by the
intelligence?

This is an important distinction. I have not seen ONE shred of
evidence swinging the distinction into any one camp. Did he lie, or
was he deceived?

Is it alright for our leader to make a mistake?

Does that make Saddam any LESS of an evil man? Does that magically
resurrect the THOUSANDS of Kurds he GASSED to death?

Why does Saddam's own general say WMD's were moved to Syria? These are
all important questions to think about before making a knee-jerk
reaction and convicting somebody right away, pointing the accusatory
finger of blame, saying "You Liar!"

When you say Bush was lying, what you're saying is that you know his
heart. You're essentially saying you knew what he was thinking when he
said Iraq had WMD's, and that's the ONLY possible way you know he was
lying. Unless, of course, there's another concrete way that you
determined he lied. Unless there's evidence you have. If so, my ears
are open, my mind open, ready to listen and consider....

I'm listening...
