Bush never lied to us about Iraq

James Kirchick, who is a liberal writer and an assistant editor of the liberal New Republic explains that the commonly held belief that President Bush lied us into Iraq is false. Many supporters of the liberation of Iraq have made this case, and most make it better, but unfortunately in this political climate the teller of the truth is often more important then the truth.

"Four years on from the first Senate Intelligence Committee report, war critics, old and newfangled, still don't get that a lie is an act of deliberate, not unwitting, deception. If Democrats wish to contend they were "misled" into war, they should vent their spleen at the CIA."
