21. There were enough dissenting opinions
to qualify this as a lie. Bush took the intelligence that suited him; he ignored the qualifiers and cautious language, and overblew it grotesquely. He and his cohorts spoke with absolute certainty; and when discussing intelligence, they repeatedly left the impression that they had other information which they could not share because they had to protect sources and methods. O'Reilly's argument is a red herring, just a flawed parsing of the semantics: "But Mommy, when I said I didn't take the candy, I had forgotten that I did! That wasn't lying!"
They LIED. Impeach the bastard.
