Calpundit warns not to get too hung up on technical and grammatical nitpicking when criticising Bush:
[…] A certain amount of guffawing over the administration’s hyper- technical word parsing is certainly justified, and there’s nothing wrong with pointing out that their “explanations” for the uranium gaffe seem to change almost hourly. However, we should all keep in mind that the primary issue is the overall pattern they have shown of justifying a preemptive war on what now looks like very dubious intelligence. That’s a real issue, it’s an important issue, and it should stay front and center.
Hear, hear. Bush lied in his State of the Union address, just like the entire Bush adminiustration lied over and over again about why a war with Iraq was necessary. Don’t mince words, just keep repeating the facts: Bush lied, people died.
