Mr.,/Ms., Mrs Fry, your comments today are the perfect example of how the general public is so easily duped and manipulated. The Liberal Left (tribe) and The Conservative Right (tribe) put out propaganda for members to absorb. This then"kool-aid" effect translates into they will believe if told over and over. Take your comment..."Bush lied to get us into Iraq". To arrive at the "lie", it progressed thru trust, belief, recommend. He TRUSTED the intelligence and military reports. He and his team BELIEVED the reports re: the existence of "weapons". He reported and RECOMMENDED that Congress vote to engage. They voted yes, also caught up in believing the intelligence reports were true. A process.  In the buck stops here world it will be known as the Bush war..in liberal circles the Bush lied to us war. Bush and his team, reviewed, trusted and believed the reports - learning later they were incorrect. To lie is to tell you something is fact when you KNOW it is not.
