Bush no Lie

McLellan to the contrary, the case that George Bush lied prior to the invasion of Iraq cannot be substantiated with the evidence at hand. Fred Hiatt of the Washington Post elaborates at the WaPo's website.

Lowdogg, I read this column with an open mind and I continue to buy into the distinct possibility no one lied per se and was reacting to what we "found" from an agency/reporting standpoint. What I am most concerned about is the timing of when it became apparent the information was wrong, and how quickly we ascertained the depth of the "oops." Truly, I think we were looking for an opportunity to take out Sadaam anyway, but it is one thing to say the government lied to the country and another to say it acted on flawed intelligence and then maybe was a tad slow to either determine that and/or reveal that. And the point is quite valid that, in these uncertain times, you never know exactly what is going on in these nooks and crannies of the globe anyway. You take your best shot...ok, maybe that was a bad choice of words...
