At the time much of the intelligence used, verification of the authencity was not complete. There is no doubt in my mind they manipulated intelligence to make their case to go to war. However it's the method they used to sell their case, there's no way anyone can prove they lied, that's the magic of puffery. No one can prove intent. No one can prove they fabricated evidence. No one can prove they intentionally used faulty intelligence to go to war.

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.
thcbongman Reviewed by thcbongman on . Bush: Bad president? Or WORST president EVER? I may have possibly revealed my own bias in the title of this thread, but YOU get to decide, and to be fair, there are options other than Bad and Worst. You can even select Best if you are crazy (don't let me influence your vote -- select Best if you really want to, you crazy nutjob). Whatever you vote for, please post a reason. If you think he is bad, why? If you think he is good, what are his accomplishments and who do you think has done a worse job? For example: I think George W. Bush Rating: 5
