here's a vast difference between making a statement based on available intelligence info that turns out to not appear to have been true at the time it was made, and telling a lie. But "Bush is a liar" is just such a convenient shortcut...and it's an article of faith amongst his political opposition.
A real statesman like Harry Truman, had a sign on his desk; "The Buck Stops Here".

"The President--whoever he is--has to decide. He can't pass the buck to anybody. No one else can do the deciding for him. That's his job."

Blaming the intelligence is exactly a thing what an intelligent lightweight, a US president unworthy, would do. Intelligence which btw was cherry picked and offered by a biased, special by Cheney created Intelligence Dept.

I give you some hints; special CIA offshore prisons.

Bush proclaimed that a report by leading economists concluded that the economy would grow by 3.3 percent in 2003 if his tax cut proposals were adopted. No such report exists.

On April 26,2003 President Bush said in his weekly radio address, "My jobs and growth plan would reduce tax rates for everyone who pays income tax."

Bush promised to pull out American troops after the Iraqi government was elected, fact is that there are more troops in Iraq as ever.

And I can go on and on and on.

60-70% eh? Really...
