The “Bush Lied” meme has been refuted and defeated time-and-time again. But the MSM and the Liberal Left have completely ingnored the facts and continue to parrot the same old rhetoric.
But truth and facts are hard to supress forever.
The Chicago Tribune has just published the results from their nine-editorial rigorous examination of President Bush’s Iraq war justification and reached the following striking conclusion:
On Nov. 20, the Tribune began an inquest: We set out to assess the Bush administration’s arguments for war in Iraq. We have weighed each of those nine arguments against the findings of subsequent official investigations by the 9/11 Commission, the Senate Intelligence Committee and others. . . . After reassessing the administration’s nine arguments for war, we do not see the conspiracy to mislead that many critics allege.
Go read the entire article.
I think you are trying to spin their report to be more decisive than it is.
Take this Tribune quote for instance-
Put short, the bumper-sticker accusation that “Bush lied—People died” would be moot today if the president had stuck to known truths.
But honestly, the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune isn’t exactly known for its even-handedness: the Matt Santos character on the West Wing was the first Democrat they’ve endorsed for President since 1872.
