To lie means to knowingly make a false statement. A statement that is made, based on faulty information, is not necessarily a lie. It's the old truth tables from Logic 101. The conclusions he reached were the same as the Democrats who were given the same information and voted FOR the war. Why are we continuing to plow this same ground. The decision to go to war was bi-partisan. The data was flawed, but both parties voted based on it. That data came from multiple sources, not just U.S. Intel. We are at war, get over it.

Testi Sent: Monday, September 11, 2006 1:30 PM To: ProFox Email List Subject: Re: [OT] Another Bush Lie Are (some) people upset because they think President Bush lied to them for the reasons we went into Iraq? If so was it because they belived what they think he said and felt that we should go, later finding out that it was a 'lie' so felt betrayed? Or maybe they 'knew' it was a lie at the start and therefore we should of not gone, lie or not. Is it the 'lying' or the going that has (some) people upset? I assume there is a mixture, and of course other 'solutions' other then the two I just listed exist. I'm doing my best to be a 'martian' and observe this somewhat detacted. Here in Eugene OR. (Where I am living) there seems to a large number of people ( at least vocal, e.g. street protests, letters to the editors etc. ) that shall we be kind and say disagree with mush of the presidents policys, and I am trying very much to understand their thinking, but it is hard for me to follow the lack of facts. I've asked about the 'lying' and I have not yet received a clear answer. (Maybe Ed's recent post will provide me with that information when I've read it or the links he has provided.) I can appreciate people putting different weights on the facts, e.g. I believe that Oil was a reason for going into Iraq thou I put little weight on it, Person X may say that Oil was a primary reason for going into Iraq. I on the other hand would put much more weight onto the UN resoluions then say the 'other' person. A small favor, I really do not like the name calling in policts. No I am not going to ask for others here to stop, I'm not that much of a fool ( ok I've just called myself a name. ) If you see me doing it please point in out, I'm trying to stop myself. Anthony L.
