The White House spent all of 2002 and much of 2003 making false statements about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. Our president used anonymous sources and cherry-picked intelligence to support a pre-determined policy to invade Iraq. I haven't heard any apologies or retractions from President Bush, only excuses.
