Default Re: Miers Withdraws Nomination

I'm going to give you another chance to correct yourself.

First I'm going to give you the definition of lie:

A false statement deliberately presented as being true; a falsehood.
Something meant to deceive or give a wrong impression.

So for Cheney to lie, he would have to know there were no WMDs in Iraq. OR he would have to, based on the evidence presented to him have a very strong argument.

Similarly, other administrations have come up with the same argument that there were WMDs in Iraq.

So either everyone is lying or our intelligence was simply wrong. It could have been through incompetence, it could have been through completely making things up, or it could have been through using sources that made up things for their own purposes.

That's why perjury is so hard to prove. There is quite a difference between being dead wrong and lying.
