Re: Do you really believe Bush Lied? It makes no sense.
The Bush administration knowingly lied -- in the sense of an exaggeration being a lie.(IMO).
They then compounded it with the simple minded view that we would be seen as liberating heroes, welcomed and in a few short months a pro-US, democracy would be functioning with the help of the US Army.
If the second had come true, the first would have been irrelevant. Oil would be flowing from Iraq, via US contractors, the Army would be ready to continue its primary mission these days -- serving and protecting the Israeli state, happy times.
Like the fish, the play was made looking at our cards only.
