Repeatedly giving your definition of “lying” and “allowing a false impression to exist” are not “giving evidence” and many people have posted the proof that you are wrong. This is exactly why I will not bother doing your homework for you. It is a waste of my time to look up and post proof that will only be ignored.
Well, I had some time to waste so I thought I might throw up some more evidence for you to ignore after all:
And more importantly no one has been able to provide any facts proving he lied.
Not true. Thekla has frequently cited opinion polls, which, as everyone knows, always accurately reflect reality. They’re certainly much more reliable than any official investigations which conclude there have been no improprieties.
you forgot the sarcasim face
Another error of fact. You’ve offered up a theory without evidence to give it any credibility.
I appreciate the effort, but let’s be accurate when speaking for me. I never said that the opinion polls that show 57% of Americans saying that the administration misled the nation for war were proof that Mr. Bush lied.
I’ll tell you what; you don’t write my part and I won’t write your part. And I apologize if you have felt ignored by me. I will try to do better.
Which, in the end, demonstrates nothing substantive.
Firstly Wikipedia is a very good source, I use it constantly and (significantly) follow up sources.My experience is that you have to treat it like any data source, critically.
As long as the media keeps saying Bush lied, whether he did or not, a big percentage of the population will believe it. And, as I have said before, you can get any result you want when you design a poll.
For those unaware of even the most basic of facts pertaining to Iraq:
Please see my recent posts to Thekla for proof from RELIABLE sources of how completely wrong these statements are. There is plenty of blame to go around but more failure can be ascribed to Clinton than to Bush. Clinton cut the spending, Clinton’s administration was warned about Atta and his cohorts by name and they blocked their arrest, Clinton ignored repeated offers from Sudan to turn Bin Laden over to us, etc, etc.
This again? No one ever said the Iraq war was because they were directly responsible for 9/11 although there is undeniable proof that they were involved with Al Quida. PLEASE do some research before posting the same old long-discredited arguments.
How kind. But are those the basic facts?
Did I call this one or what? Interpretation? So clearly stated factual information is a matter of interpretation but polls are solid proof? It seems to me that this argument is over.

Mark,
Do you ever get the feeling that this is a waste of time when people just refuse to face facts and are obviously going to believe what ever they want to no matter how many of us prove them wrong? What is that old saying? Oh yes. “Never try to teach a pig to sing…it wastes your time and it annoys the pig.”
No, it’s not. By their own admission,m anyone, qualified/credentialed or not, contributes to that site. It’s an interesting web community but as a source is no more valid a source than any other internet community.
