[extropy-chat] Who thinks the Bush admin lied over Iraq? On whatbasis?

[Brian Lee]

Good job on Godwining this just 3 posts in. No one is arguing whether Hitler 
lied so I don't understand the utility of your statement. I don't see anyone 
asking if Bush sent troops into Iraq or if there are really 1800+ US 
casualities, etc.
