I was ashamed for him then and after. It was more than obvious Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 nor we’re they harboring WMD’s. The information was there in front of us, all we needed to do was look at. As a nation, we didn’t.
We have become so inured with lying presidents, like Bush after 9/11 or at least one particular unconscionable lying SOB (big generalization here) we think all presidents lie every time they open their mouths. It’s not necessarily true. Presidents misspeak, get facts askew but they generally don’t lie. Nixon W. Bush and definitely DJT lied to America much of the time.
