This requires a person to know the mind of the President. We know that he was factually incorrect, but in order to "lie", the person lying needs to know that the information was factually incorrect at the time he makes it. I personally believe that the President wanted a reason to invade Iraq so badly (to make up for his father's "mistake" of not overthrowing Saddam Hussein), that he did not question the faulty evidence provided him and wanted to believe it. As a result, I believe that Bush actually believed his incorrect statement to be true, which means that he was not lying.

Why do Republicans think Bill Clinton should have been impeached for lying about his infidelity and George Bush should go Scott free after misleading the world on Iraq?

Clinton was impeached for obstruction of justice, not for lying about his infidelity. You or I would have gone to prison for a few years for lying on the witness stand. Bush's 'lies' about Iraq were the same ones the democrats were telling during the Clinton administration. See the related question at http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Did_George_Bush_lie_about_the_WMDs_in_Iraq to read the quotes from prominent democrats (including both Clintons) about Saddam's WMDs.


What real reason did George Bush have for invading Iraq?

President Bush gave Saddam Hussein an ultimatum: Either provide definitive proof of disposal of weapons of mass destruction, or else resign as leader (dictator) of the country. He did neither. Accordingly, Congress authorized the use of force should Hussein not comply. Virtually every congressman and other high ranking official in America and indeed throughout the world thought that Hussein still had WMDs. Hussein's downfall stopped the official tyranny in Iraq. Unfortunately terrorists still are causing widespread mayhem, not only in Iraq, but throughout the world.


How did the US originally justify the irag war?

They claimed that Iraq was in possession of weapons of mass destruction, they also made insinuations that they were involved in harboring terrorists . all of this was later proved to be a fabrication.
