THERE ARE FIBS, THERE ARE LIES, AND THEN THERE ARE THE BUSH/CHENEY WHOPPERS

True Lies:

So I conclude by citing a lie by our president, an untruth that John Kerry (news - web sites) did not rebut in his first debate with George W. Bush. The president twice used the line, "You saw the same intelligence I did before the war ..."

That is absurd, and it was foolish for Kerry to let it go. I have been around the White House under six presidents and have written, quite extensively, about their decision-making. I know, and so does Bush, that no one, no one at all, sees what a president sees. That is what the classification "Eyes Only" means. We now know that Bush was a wannabe war president who was holding back a great deal of pre-war intelligence for his own purpose -- and his purpose was to go to war.
