Clinton lied under oath - which is a crime - that is incontrovertible. Having witnesses fear being convicted of perjury is one of the cornerstones of our judicial system. In other words, if people feel free to lie on the stand, our judicial system is comprimised. Therefore Clinton's lie undermined the integrity of the system.
Bush believed what everyone believed, including his predecesser and his predecesser's secretary of state, that Saddam had Weapons of Mass Destruction.
It is still possible that such weapons will be found.
Even if he did lie, which is improbable, such a lie would not be a crime, and it was not the sole justification for going to war.
Even if he did lie, and it was his sole justification of going to war, the consequences is that one of the most brutal regimes in history is now gone.
You need to admit that you just have it in for Bush. And stop using the stupid pretext of the lack of WMDs to justify your obsession.

You need to drop that pretend childlike naive belief that the legal system is the cornerstone of anything. Tried anything lately? Everyone lies in Court.
I don't besmirch Bush for lying. He has the country's best intentions in mind. What I hate are all the hypocritical cocksucking chickenshits who can't admit their boy lied, but are so damn quick to call everyone else a liar. I have no problem with Bush. My problem is with anyone fool enough to delude himself into not recognizing a president engaging in willful ignoraance and lying right before their eyes. He lied. Why not just admit it?
And get off this law as a cornerstone fixation. It reeks of naivete you clearly don't have.
