LIE #1: "The evidence indicates that Iraq is reconstituting its nuclear weapons program ... Iraq has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes and other equipment needed for gas centrifuges, which are used to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons." -- President Bush, Oct. 7, 2002, in Cincinnati.

FACT: This story, leaked to and breathlessly reported by Judith Miller in the New York Times, has turned out to be complete baloney. Department of Energy officials, who monitor nuclear plants, say the tubes could not be used for enriching uranium. One intelligence analyst, who was part of the tubes investigation, angrily told The New Republic: "You had senior American officials like Condoleezza Rice saying the only use of this aluminum really is uranium centrifuges. She said that on television. And that's just a lie."

LIE #2: "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." -- President Bush, Jan.28, 2003, in the State of the Union address.

FACT: This whopper was based on a document that the White House already knew to be a forgery thanks to the CIA. Sold to Italian intelligence by some hustler, the document carried the signature of an official who had been out of office for 10 years and referenced a constitution that was no longer in effect. The ex-ambassador who the CIA sent to check out the story is pissed: "They knew the Niger story was a flat-out lie," he told the New Republic, anonymously. "They [the White House] were unpersuasive about aluminum tubes and added this to make their case more strongly."

LIE #3: "We believe [Saddam] has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons." -- Vice President Cheney on March 16, 2003 on "Meet the Press."FACT: There was and is absolutely zero basis for this statement. CIA reports up through 2002 showed no evidence of an Iraqi nuclear weapons program.

LIE #4: "[The CIA possesses] solid reporting of senior-level contacts between Iraq and al-Qaeda going back a decade." -- CIA Director George Tenet in a written statement released Oct. 7, 2002 and echoed in that evening's speech by President Bush.

FACT: Intelligence agencies knew of tentative contacts between Saddam and al-Qaeda in the early '90s, but found no proof of a continuing relationship. In other words, by tweaking language, Tenet and Bush spun the intelligence180 degrees to say exactly the opposite of what it suggested.

LIE #5: "We've learned that Iraq has trained al-Qaeda members in bomb-making and poisons and deadly gases ... Alliance with terrorists could allow the Iraqi regime to attack America without leaving any fingerprints." -- President Bush, Oct. 7.

FACT: No evidence of this has ever been leaked or produced. Colin Powell told the U.N. this alleged training took place in a camp in northern Iraq. To his great embarrassment, the area he indicated was later revealed to be outside Iraq's control and patrolled by Allied war planes.

LIE #6: "We have also discovered through intelligence that Iraq has a growing fleet of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles that could be used to disperse chemical or biological weapons across broad areas. We are concerned that Iraq is exploring ways of using these UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles] for missions targeting the United States." -- President Bush, Oct. 7.

FACT: Said drones can't fly more than 300 miles, and Iraq is 6,000 miles from the U.S. coastline. Furthermore, Iraq's drone-building program wasn't much more advanced than your average model plane enthusiast. And isn't a "manned aerial vehicle" just a scary way to say "plane"?

LIE #7: "We have seen intelligence over many months that they have chemical and biological weapons, and that they have dispersed them and that they're weaponized and that, in one case at least, the command and control arrangements have been established." -- President Bush, Feb. 8, 2003, in a national radio address.

FACT: Despite a massive nationwide search by U.S. and British forces, there are no signs, traces or examples of chemical weapons being deployed in the field, or anywhere else during the war.

LIE #8: "Our conservative estimate is that Iraq today has a stockpile of between 100 and 500 tons of chemical weapons agent. That is enough to fill 16,000 battlefield rockets." -- Secretary of State Colin Powell, Feb. 5 2003, in remarks to the UN Security Council.

FACT: Putting aside the glaring fact that not one drop of this massive stockpile has been found, as previously reported on AlterNet the United States' own intelligence reports show that these stocks -- if they existed -- were well past their use-by date and therefore useless as weapon fodder.

LIE #9: "We know where [Iraq's WMD] are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south, and north somewhat." -- Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, March 30, 2003, in statements to the press.

FACT: Needless to say, no such weapons were found, not to the east, west, south or north, somewhat or otherwise.

LIE #10: "Yes, we found a biological laboratory in Iraq which the UN prohibited." -- President Bush in remarks in Poland, published internationally June 1, 2003.

FACT: This was reference to the discovery of two modified truck trailers that the CIA claimed were potential mobile biological weapons lab. But British and American experts -- including the State Department's intelligence wing in a report released this week -- have since declared this to be untrue. According to the British, and much to Prime Minister Tony Blair's embarrassment, the trailers are actually exactly what Iraq said they were; facilities to fill weather balloons, http://www.inthesetimes.com/article/899/they_knew/
sold to them by the British themselves.

No.We.Didn't.

I wouldn't waste my time arguing with them. Just think of all the lives we have saved in Iraq and how people are having a better life. My DH has been to Iraq a couple of times and we have a ton of friends that are there or have been there; they are glad they went and they know why they went.

 

[Goofyluver]

Sorry, using bad inteligence to make a decision will never be lieing, you need to bring me real proof. And hind sight doesn't make a bad decsion a lie no matter how much you wish it so.

Your definition of a lie is simply wrong. Under the law, a lie includes failing to state a material fact necessary to make the facts disclosed not misleading and the omission of a material fact. Under that legal standard, it is clear bush lied. This is too long to post but a former US Attorney has drafted a detailed indictment of bush, cheney and company that would definitely stand up in court. http://www.tomdispatch.co...de_la_vega_indicting_bush The gist on this rather long and detailed indictment is that bush and company lied by misstating intelligence used to sell the war in Iraq and by omitting material facts necessary to make the intelligence used to sell the war in Iraq not misleading.

Hmm... interesting facts. Being a stickler for accuracy, the person I was responding to said:

GWB admitted to lying about Iraq's involvement in the September 11 attacks, and on their Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Well, no, he didn't. I believe he admitted to being wrong. So if we are to believe your facts, that GWB was lying, we must also believe that quite a few other politicians (some on the other side) and a few other governments were also lying. Gee, it's just one big 'ol conspiracy to go to war with Iraq. For what? Oil? Revenge?

I think it's really nice that you believe that, however, the facts just aren't on your side. It's not 1944. We haven't just liberated Paris and there aren't girls running up to tanks bearing flowers and kisses. I also have "tons" of friends who have been over there and you know what? They say they hate us. I'm sure the ones whose loved ones died aren't having better lives and I'm pretty sure not every soldier who served over there--or someone who lost a loved one--is glad we went.

I support our soldiers. I was one myself. But I refuse to believe that we went there for any reason other than money and I don't believe we've helped more than we've harmed. Maybe some people need to believe this mythology. I just choose not to.

 

[mrsltg]

We could not point out the flaws in our Country or President. If we did, we were seen as Anti-American by the current Administration and his minions.

I find it fascinating that the people who fell straight in line do nothing but bash the 44th President before he has even taken office. Which Country exactly do you put first?

For all of you asking innocent questions, go read the platform.

For all of you with a Right Wing philosophy, get over yourselves, you lost, why don't you show just a little respect to the majority who voted for our President Elect.

For all you conservatives who do not agree with the President Elect based on your own research and not what some crackpot has told you, we can certainly respect your choice.

Wow. America's crack problem exposed right here on the Dis. Amazing!

 

[Planogirl]

What's wrong with lists? I find them clean and efficient myself. And the prior one is a great one IMO.

 

[Goofyluver]

Wow. America's crack problem exposed right here on the Dis. Amazing!

Are you accusing her of being a crack addict or are you referring to her calling people who spread lies crackpots?

Before I type my response to your words...I just want to be clear that I'm not making some sort of mistake.

 

[Galahad]

We didn't bash Bush for 8 years with such hostility.

You cannot possibly be serious!

Ok, let me list them out......

1. They are tedious.
2. They are too long.
3. "Honey do" lists are lists.....
4. Lists are good for groceries, granted.

actually, scratch that......no lists!

Google "Obama 50 lies" as an example........once you get past about seven of them you really don't care if they are true or not.......but you are mildly concerned about the sanity of people who construct such lists......and then celebrate them.........

I am a reformed non practicing anti-listarian.

Do you need:

1. An intervention?
2. A virtual slap to the head for answering a list post with a list post?
3. To post another list in reponse to the list that responded to your list where you stated that you were anti-list?

I love facts!!

Then you must hate this list.

Lie #2 - REAL Fact regarding it - The British Government and Intelligence Service STILL backs up this fact.

The rest of the FACTS that prove George Bush lied. Funny, but every single one starts in the CIA. There was a George that lied, but it was George Tenet, a moral coward who knew or should have known he was telling lies to the President because, as another poster listed "Curveball", he had been told by his subordinates that the information was false. He cooked the intelligence that killed thousands of American lives so he could keep his job.

George Bush paid for the song, but it was written, lyrics and all, and sung by George Tenet.
