The Rumors Are True

The Center of Public Integrity and the Fund for Independence in Journalism proved that the Bush administration collectively made 935 official lies about the Iraq War, according to this article by the Associated Press. Most of them were about Iraq allegedly having weapons of mass destruction (WMD's for all you newsies out there). Bush only lied about 259 of those times, with Colin Powell coming behind at 244 lies. The journalism organizations studied records from only the two years after Sept. 11, 2001, leading to the Iraq War as we know it. Who knows what they said in the past four years.
