Who lied?

I would hope that Bush had better information than those folks, seeing as how he was the Commander in Chief of the armed forces, had Condi Rice to hold his hand, and got daily briefings from George Tenet. Read Justice Thomas's dissent last week in Hamdan, and you will see him explaining that the president deserves deference in matters of national security -- surely this is why.

That said, there were a lot of Democrats who jumped on the war bandwagon and said things they may not have believed or known for fear of the political consequences of standing up to a popular president in a time of war. They have a lot to answer for, too.
