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.

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

You can't prove that Bush didn't convince himself that Saddam had WMDs. You CAN prove that he cherrypicked the intelligence he presented to the people and censored, completely suppressed, the considerable dissenting intelligence which of course was always more authoritative.
That's criminal. Not that Obama really cared.
