This seems to be an impeachable offense.

But I realize I'm just a shrill partisan America-hating hippie:

President George W. Bush and his top policymakers exaggerated Saddam Hussein's links to terrorism and ignored doubts among intelligence agencies about Iraq's arms programs as they made their case for war, a Senate committee reported on Thursday.

Shocked, shocked.

• Claims by President Bush that Iraq and al Qaida had a partnership "were not substantiated by the intelligence."
• The president and vice president misrepresented what was known about Iraq’s chemical weapons capabiliies.
• Rumsfeld misrepresented what the intelligence community knew when he said Iraq's weapons productions facilities were buried deeply underground.
• Cheney's claim that the intelligence community had confirmed that lead Sept. 11 hijacker Mohammed Atta had met an Iraqi intelligence officer in Prague in 2001 was not true.
