If that were the case, wouldn't the democrats have jumped at the chance to impeach Bush? They know that they don't have a case, nor can they prove it.

The day the lies are affirmed is the day it'll be in history books. Until then you'll have people like Rusty who could still make a case that the Iraq invasion was legitimate.
I guess a person doesn't need to prove that they've been lied to in order to KNOW that they've been lied to. It might not stand up in court, but I know I was lied to, and so does most of the country.
