Bush War Lies #32

You know it's bad when even Colin Powell has to lie. His own staff told him the exact opposite of what he told the United Nations (and us). They said Iraq posed no thread to either the US or Iraq's neighbours.

Greg Thielmann, the person responsible for analyzing the Iraqi weapons threat for Colin Powell, says the Secretary of State misinformed Americans during his speech at the U.N. last winter.

And this isn't some wild-eyed liberal newspaper reporting this (as if those things actually existed) ... this is 60 Minutes II.

The money quote: "the decision to go to war was made first and then the intelligence was interpreted to fit that conclusion."

What a bunch of lying liars.
