Reply #37: The Bush Administration lied about Saddam possessing WMDs [View All]

> Saying the president lied would be a huge blunder.

No one has to say "the president" lied. (Though he did.) The Bush Administration lied about Saddam currently possessing WMDs. They repeatedly claimed that they *knew* he had them, and said they knew where they were -- but couldn't give up that info because "it would jeopardize intelligence contacts."

Take, for example, Wesley Clark's comment on Sunday's MTP (1/25) regarding what Rummy the Dummy told a gathering of high-ranking military personnel: "I (Rumsfeld) *know* where 30% of Iraq's WMDs are."

Of course, I guess Rumsfeld could get off in court... since 30% of nothing is nothing.


EDIT: I'd like to see Bush and his handlers differentiating "Bush Administration lied" from "Bush lied." The buck stops where, Chimpy McSmirk?
