Hank,  I made no mention of lies and never had. I have always claimed we
rushed into the war. It was a knee jerk reaction to 911.  The current
administration sold it to Congress (both parties) and they bought it. I felt
then that Iraq was contained. They were not a threat and we could have taken
the time to verify some of the intel and focus on Bin laden.  We didn't. The
rest is history.
