When your statement is an outright lie, what else is there to say?

Does this make you happier?

Wrong. That is not exactly what Bush did. Your statement is in
conflict with our present reality. What you claim happened never
happened and every look at the facts says it never happened. You're
on your ass, boy. It's false. It's incorrect. It's untrue.

Still waiting for that cite. EVERY investigation into this comes to
the conclusion that what you claim never happened, is wrong, is false,
is a lie. Is it sinking in yet?

Your cite is in the article below, and refutes your claim "that every
Intelligence agency in every major country in the world (including
France) believed that Saddam had such weapons."
