Lied?

I think the problem I and others are having with this whole bash session is the logical jump:

WMD or production facilities not located yet* ----------------------> Bush lied about almost everything having to do with Iraq.

This falls apart on a number of levels, not least of which is how the administration expected to make up the entire WMD scenario out of whole cloth and have the lie hold together after we conquered Iraq, unless Bush is as surprised by the scarcity of WMD as everyone else is.

As enthusiastic as you are about the term "lied," it doesn't really hold up. I also note that you and others are now accepting as unarguable and absolute fact that Saddam had no WMD whatsoever prior to the invasion, which strikes me as putting yourself some distance out on a limb. You sure you want to be there?

*And this depends on how high your bar is. I considered the trailers and buried equipment to be significant, but they were dismissed by the Left.
