Wilson lied?

The "so what" is important because it is Wilson that raised the 16 word issue, which I submit was the spark that set the "Bush Lied" crowd ablaze.

I have no problem with you or anyone else criticizing the president's policies. That is fair game, though I think the rhetoric should be toned down a notch when it comes to foreign policy. But this "Bush Lied" shit was WAY over the top, and I believe has harmed our efforts abroad.
If Wilson has a credibility problem, that hardly saves the President from his, except in a crude political sense. Nothing that Wilson putatively has lied about makes the administration look any better. To put it in your terms, even if Wilson hadn't been the spark, the administration was a fire hazard waiting to burn.
