Note that out of the 267 statements they collected, even they only categorize ten of them as "false" instead of "misleading," and eight of those were statements by Condoleeza Rice "that that no one in
the White House knew of the intelligence community’s doubts about the
President’s assertion that Iraq sought to import uranium from Africa."

Meanwhile, the White House, for a change, addresses this kind of thing directly here.

Also, from John McCain on "Face the Nation:"

SCHIEFFER: President Bush accused his critics of rewriting history last week.

Sen. McCAIN: Yeah.

SCHIEFFER: And in--he said in doing so, the criticisms they were making of his war policy was endangering our troops in Iraq. Do you believe it is unpatriotic to criticize the Iraq policy?

Sen. McCAIN: No, I think it's a very legitimate aspect of American life to criticize and to disagree and to debate.

But I want to say I think it's a lie to say that the president lied to the American people.

I sat on the Robb-Silverman Commission. I saw many, many analysts that came before that committee. I asked every one of them--I said, 'Did--were you ever pressured politically or any other way to change your analysis of the situation as you saw?' Every one of them said no.

Now was there a colossal intelligence failure? Of course, there was. Is there still a lot of things that need to be done to improve that? Are we winning the war on terror? I think it depends on your parameters. But to assert that the president intentionally lied to the American people is just wrong. And could I finally say, every intelligence agency in the world, including the Russian, including the French, including the Israeli, all had--reached the same conclusion, and that was that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. So I think open, honest disagreement, more discussion, more debate, the more facts that come out, the better off we are, but I would not accept the premise the president lied.

What is the Left going to say if yet another commission comes to that same conclusion? "Whitewash" again?

BTW, the Democratic Party's "mushroom defense" is not holding up well.
