Bush was undeniably, categorically LYING when he made the following statements (except the last two, of course):
"All patriotic Iraqis should embrace this resolution <1441> as an opportunity for Iraq to avoid war and end its isolation...The United States prefers that Iraq meet its obligations voluntarily." President Bush Address to the Nation November 8, 2002
"Even now, he could end his defiance and dramatically change directions...You see, the use of military force is this nation's last option, its last choice." President Bush Fort Hood Army Base January 3, 2003
"The president is serious about consultation. The president is serious about diplomacy. He hopes it will work, and he wants to give it time to work." White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer January 30, 2003
"...reaffirming the commitment of all Member States to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Iraq, Kuwait, and the neighbouring States..." US-authored Security Council draft resolution March 7, 2003
"The Vice President dropped by a Senate Republican policy lunch soon after his 10-day tour of the Middle East ...Before he spoke, he said no one should repeat what he said. Then he gave them some surprising news. The question was no longer if the U.S. would attack Iraq, he said. The only question was when." Time Magazine May 5, 2002
"'F___ Saddam. We're taking him out.' Those were the words of President George W. Bush, who had poked his head into the office of National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice. It was March 2002, and Rice was meeting with three U.S. Senators. " Time Magazine March 31, 2003
