Bush never technically lied

While Rush fusses over the technicalities of what, exactly, is a 'lie', I'll repeat that I've always preferred "deliberately misleading". There's no controversy or legalese involved, and there's not much doubt that the Bush team deliberately misled us.

I agree with most rationals that the Dems who supported the Iraq invasion before they were against it are contemptible.

Many of us had it right from the first days of the run-up. We saw the deliberate misleading and called them on it, every step of the way.

Rush can also yammer about how Clinton believed the same things, bla-bla-bla, but Bush and only Bush sent our kids there to die and kill. It's Bush's war, plain and simple.

Afghanistan, you might realize, is also Bush's war. He started it (for good reason), he messed it up, he passed it on to Obama.

Now it's Obama's to figure out, but it was Bush's action, no way around it.

All historians will be clear that Bush did Iraq and started Afghanistan, without any doubt at all. And the many efforts to deliberately mislead the American public and Congress about Iraq are, and always will be, richly and precisely documented.

The desperate attempts by con-men like Rush simply to save face mean nothing to history. The actual acts of the President of the United States ARE history.

Sorry, Rush. Go home and lick your wounds in private.
