Bush didn't lie.
Repeateding 10 year old false naratives is a bit immature, don't you think ?
Democrats claimed Saddam had WMD and had intentions to go Nuclear before Bush ever stepped into the White House.
Not to mention they voted FOR the Iraq resolution.
If you believe that Bush didn't lie...then no amount of information out there is going to dissuade you. It isn't a false narrative. There is ample evidence, much of it from former staff members that Bush/Cheney and Rumsfield were plotting and planning for the attack on Iraq from the beginning of the administration. 9/11 gave them the vehicle that they needed and all you need to do is go back and look at history to see the orchestrated effort that began in the weeks following 9/11 to persuade the public that we needed to attack Iraq. The whole "Axis of Evil" was their ploy.
Bush absolutely lied. He lied repeatedly trying to link Iraq and 911, manipulating the public fear.
You are absolutely right about one thing though....yes, Democrats voted for the Iraq resolution and deserve a share of the blame as well. But not for the lies and manipulation....but because they were so afraid of their own shadows and so afraid of being perceived as weak or "unpatriotic" went along with the resolution rather than standing up for what was right.
You can try to say Bush didn't lie all you want...but the bottom line is they used American soldiers as pawns and have the blood of thousands on their hands as a result of their lies. They will pay come judgement day.
