Pants on fire

A nonprofit organization called the Center for Public Integrity has documented 935 instances of post-9/11 lies told publicly by the Bush administration, either claiming that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, or that Saddam had links with Al Qaeda.
They have composed an online database that analyzes each of these statements for the truth as known at the time the statement was uttered.
Here are some choice words from their report:

[T]he Bush administration led the nation to war on the basis of erroneous information that it methodically propagated and that culminated in military action against Iraq on March 19, 2003.

It concludes:

Bush and the top officials of his administration have so far largely avoided the harsh, sustained glare of formal scrutiny about their personal responsibility for the litany of repeated, false statements in the run-up to the war in Iraq. There has been no congressional investigation, for example, into what exactly was going on inside the Bush White House in that period. Congressional oversight has focused almost entirely on the quality of the U.S. government's pre-war intelligence — not the judgment, public statements, or public accountability of its highest officials.
Short of such review, this project provides a heretofore unavailable framework for examining how the U.S. war in Iraq came to pass. Clearly, it calls into question the repeated assertions of Bush administration officials that they were the unwitting victims of bad intelligence.

Boston Brahmin is still waiting for the Bush administration to pay for their deeds. But not holding his breath.
