I know you can do better than that Rex. I have supported the the President for the most part on the Iraq issue and even I can see some inconsistancies in a few things. But this is what you bring up as an example of him lying? Please. There would have been a vote if the French had not expressly stated they would veto it. If you don't understand what that means for UN purposes a security council veto stops a resolution before it even comes to a vote. So you can't blame Bush for their being no vote on a second resolution.

Well I wanted to stay on topic:

He lied about going AWOL.
He lied about being arrested for drunk driving.
He stole money doing insider trading when he was with Harken oil (don't say it's old news the Last president was hounded about white water and the time frames were equivalent).

Those are just some things off the top of my head. Some people were trying to make Bush out as some honourable character when he is a politician looking to get elected.
