Because that is all they can cling to to justify what the current DEM administration is doing to us. "Not my fault" Democrats.

No one is saying there wasnt faulty intelligence, but to come up with this baseless "lie" nonsense is ridiculous. Out of all of those who HATED Bush, all the media that HATED Bush, if there was evidence of this "lie" itd be out there and he'd face charges. There was no lie.

Screw the intel, there was NO evidence Iraq presented an imminent threat while there was ample evidence in lower Manhattan that an imminent threat existed. Bush screwed the pooch by failing to alter his plans after 9/11.

He has the time to spare and it was in his neck of the woods. It was nice of him, really, but I don't know how anyone can compare his actions with that of a sitting POTUS though.

He seems to spend more time in DC firing his Generals that disagree with him.

Well then why did Congress vote to go to Iraq ?
Obviously Congress was told something they believed.

They were "with" what they'd been shown. Then, surprise, come to find out....

Why don't you?

Why don't YOU tell us just who the Commander in Chief invited to sit alongside and make the FINAL go/no go decision?

I'll continue to believe it was NO ONE until you supply facts proving otherwise.

And spare us the Congress crap, Congress approved funding, nothing else. NO WHERE did it mandate an invasion/occupation.

Please cite exactly where Congress mandated an Iraqi invasion/occupation.

WHERE did they vote "to go to Iraq"?

The title of the bill says military force...
Bush could not send any troops until Congress authorized it.
It was NOT just a funding bill.
