WHY WE THINK THEY LIED ABOUT IRAQ

It's really simple once you understand the facts. First, a LOT of the intelligence was shaky and they KNEW that. Second, they didn't tell us about the doubts; in fact, they hid them from us.

THREE EXAMPLES:

Cheney:

"Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction."

Vice President Speaks at VFW 103rd National Convention

Rumsfeld:

"We know they have weapons of mass destruction. We know they have active programs. There isn't any debate about it."
