You're right. As Fred Kaplan says in that piece I linked to in the edited portion of my post above, Bush "never said outright that Saddam had connections with 9/11. He suggested connections—and did so repeatedly until a majority of Americans believed Saddam was somehow involved in the attacks. But his comments were never more than calibrated suggestions—loose phrasings, words that seemed to be interchangeable but really weren't."
Do you really think that a sustained campaign to mislead people about a matter of national security is less reprehensible than a lie in a deposition about getting a blowjob? If so, you spent too long in law school.
