President Bush lied to get us into this illegal war.

Or not.

Declassified Excerpts from the October 2002 National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq: "High Confidence Iraq is continuing, and in some areas expanding its chemical, biological, nuclear and missile programs contrary to UN resolutions. We are not detecting portions of these weapons programs. Iraq possesses proscribed chemical and biological weapons and missiles. Iraq could make a nuclear weapon in months to a year once it acquires sufficient weapons grade fissile material."

Let's recap: The collective opinion of America's intelligence community expressed high confidence that Iraq had, or was expanding it's chemical, biological and nuclear programs

The dissention comes in a footnote from an analyst at State who didn't think the confidence was as high. Now, I ask you; which is more scandalous, that the President believed the collective opinion of the intelligence community or that he disregarded it in favor of a single footnote?
