Not garbage at all.

Not counting all of the talks about terrorism where he named Saddam more than ben Laden... Not counting all the things his press secretaries said on his behalf that were not true... Not counting all the times he said we had absolute proof of, or knowledge of, or evidence that leaves no doubt, of things that we only had (in many cases controversial) indications of...

Well, remember this one from last May? "We've found the weapons of mass destruction. You know, we found biological laboratories. You remember when Colin Powell stood up in front of the world and he said Iraq has got laboratories, mobile labs to build biological weapons. They're illegal. They're against the United Nations' resolutions and we've so far discovered two." No matter how you parse this you have to admit that a laboratory (assuming he really believed they were wmd labs) is not a weapon, right?

He gave definitly false information about the stem-cell lines that are available to researchers under his guidlines. (look it up yourself, if you like)

I guess we can't hold him as lying for proposing humanitarian spending but subsequently not funding it. A shame really. We should hold politicians to their promises.

Or this beaut: ...the president said the decision was made after he gave Saddam Hussein "a chance to allow the inspectors in, and he wouldn't let them in. (the inspectors withdrew on our insistance, before the invasion)

A lot of the best ones came out of the mouths of press secretaries, though. Why that's not considered a lie by Bush, I'm not really sure.
