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.

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.

Perhaps…but that’s because Santos was the best candidate the Democrats have nominated for President since 1872…
