At this point, I don’t think that it will take much convincing for most lies.com readers to believe that the war in Iraq was not undertaken for any of hte reasons originally given. However, this well-written account goes over the fact that the (faulty) intelligence was not universally believed, and was even questioned by our own sources. In any case, it wasn’t just a case of bad intelligence. It was a case of taking bad intelligence, intentionally overplaying it, squashing any dissenting opinion, and throwing some deliberate imbellishment into the mix (aka: lying).

I do not believe that this is an impeachable offense. However. I’m beginning to wonder again if we actually would have been better off with a President Kerry. Perhaps his incompetence would prove equal to Bush’s. I’m still left with a feeling that at least we wouldn’t have re-elected a guy who’s lies have cost tens of thousands of lives.
