“No smoking gun”. At the U.N. he noted there was constant interference in the inspection of Iraqi sites by Saddam’s Guards at sites based on US intelligence and US sources. After constant badgering by Bush administration he said he “couldn’t definitively rule out their existence”. Later found to be correct by the US military.

Okay so that can be seen as somewhat ambiguous.

On Bush’s claim Iraq had an active arms program and was purchasing or had purchased Yellowcake Uranium was false. He knew this to be false because Joe Wilson (Valerie Plame’s husband otherwise known as Ambassador Wilson) hired by WBush to investigate the Nigerian Yellowcake to Iraq told Cheney and WBush there was no truth to that claim. In an OpEd piece in the NYTimes he famously penned “What I Didn’t Find in Africa” this after WBush continued his assertion Iraq was pursuing weapons grade Uranium from Niger. Hence Bush and his administration were lying about a nuclear arms program in Iraq.

And most important - WBush and Cheney and their cronies not only implied but gave direct statements Saddam Hussein was directly involved with al-Qeada implying their involvement in the 9/11 attacks in the US. They were unrestrained in their efforts to show the two were in league. We know this was untrue when they said it because they were incompatible in their beliefs. It was a made up story to play on the anger of Americans and citizens globally.

I’m not sure who those 15 of 16 intel agencies were/are but knowing what I knew then and now it sure appears there was and is no myth about WBush lying.
