Wilson lied?

Right -- because his military did so poorly in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Perhaps not in Iraq. But it's hard to fight a war, even harder when you don't have super majority support, and still harder when you are being criticized at home as being a liar, murderer, etc. But, I guess many on the left don't really consider this a war.
We consider it a war all right, but we think the President should have approached it as a war, not a political campaign. That means leveling with people about the reasons instead of trying to snow them. That means not using foreign policy for political advantage. That means making the war effort bipartisan. That means asking everyone to share the burden.

If the President didn't want to be accused of lying, he could have tried telling the truth.
