Who lied?

Coming from a Republican, that's a compliment, right?
Are you implying that only Republicans play politics?

I don't have to check them. I remember them well. You argued for a while that FDR didn't lie, even when faced with overwhelming evidence (and critisizing those of us who claimed he did) and then finally you gave in. Do I really have to look them up?

You will also find that the Constitution doesn't say anything about lying under oath, either.
OK I realize that you are litle slow and you don't know much about Constitutional law so I will spell it out of you. Yes the constitution does not say anything about lying or lying under oath. But it does discuss what should happen when the President commits "high crimes and misdemeanors". In case you weren't aware, lying is not a crime but lying under oath is - and in some cases is a felony. Some people think that felonies fall under "high crimes" and "misdemeanors".

All of these are possible in the non-reality-based universe some conservatives inhabit, but after we occupied Iraq the CIA and others spent a fair amount of time looking into the question.
And only in a non-reality based universe some liberals inhabit did the CIA reach a definite incronterversial conclusion about what happened to the WMDs.

If by "did nothing" you mean "bombed and enforced trade sanctions and so on," that's right.
Do you mean the trade sanction everyone admitted didn't work, or the bombings that were in retaliation for Iraqis shooting at US planes in the no fly zone? You believe these actions pushed Saddam into destroying his WMDs.
