Debunking the Myth of "Bush Lied - People Died"

Excellent expose by Norman Podhoretz. Very detailed look at what people who are complaining they were duped said before the war, the "16-words" and Joe Wilson's lies.

What makes this charge so special is the amazing success it has enjoyed in getting itself established as a self-evident truth even though it has been refuted and discredited over and over again by evidence and argument alike. In this it resembles nothing so much as those animated cartoon characters who, after being flattened, blown up or pushed over a cliff, always spring back to life with their bodies perfectly intact. Perhaps, like those cartoon characters, this allegation simply cannot be killed off, no matter what.

Some people prefer to live in a fantasyland where the only thing they have to fear is George W. Bush. Other people live in the real world.
