President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice, then Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and Official White House Liar Scott McClellan stated unequivocally that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction (or was trying to produce or obtain them), links to Al Qaeda, or both. These statements were an orchestrated campaign that effectively galvanized public opinion and led the nation to war under decidedly false pretenses. The officials with the most opportunities to make speeches, grant media interviews, and otherwise frame the public debate made the most false statements.
So now you know: Bush Republicans lead by example.
