Re: Do you really believe Bush Lied? It makes no sense.
[ QUOTE ]
I don't see Bush as someone who needs to lie...he simply listens to what people who he holds all his trust tell him and acts on it, whether it makes sense/is totally stupid/or goes against the popular opinion. So if everyone tells him we need 500,000 troops and Dick Cheney says "We only need 307 troops and a well trained german sheperd" then Dick or whoever wins and common sense loses.

I wouldn't be surprised if you were right, and, if you are, then Bush is incompetent, as he is unable to make intelligent/unbiased decisions. Colin Powell told Bush, as Secretrary of State, that he needed to follow the Pentagon's plan, but, Powell wasn't the Secretary of Defense.
I cannot believe, however, if any of us were Prez, and our cronies, ie. Cheney, Rumsfeld, were telling us one thing, and one of the greatest military leaders of all time were telling us another, that we wouldn't have grave doubts in the info being offered by our cronies.
