The New York Times has a good editorial today on how Bush's latest attempts at clarifying his decision to go to war with Iraq are lies. It goes through a lot of the issues and is a good read but I want to stick to one, because it's clear.
The NYT don't use the word lie, but that's really what it is. Bush says that Congress had the same intelligence reports he did and they came to the same conclusion. It is a lie. They did not have access to all of the same info. Since there's no way the President can't know this (it's in every paper and Senators are saying it), the only explanation for this false statement is Bush is lying to us. And what's worse, he's doing it badly.
