You're believing leftist propaganda. You want everyone to believe that Bush is such a good liar that he got the Democrats in congress to give him permission to invade Iraq. If you're right, then the dumb Democrats have failed their constituents. Blaming Bush for invading Iraq all by himself is idiotic. Disagreeing with his decision is one thing, but blaming Bush for lying and forcing everyone to do his will is idiotic.

The American people would NOT have set still for the invasion of Iraq if they had not been lied to like this

You keep telling yourself that bullshit as you carry on your imaginary trip down history lane. You hate Bush, I get it. Now you need to realize that your personal feelings have nothing to do with what other people think. Dumb ass.

70% of the American people believing a LIE promoted by the entire Bush admin is what those facts show you idiot.
Now if the American people KNEW the things the Bush admin were saying about Sadam were untrue in 2002 do you think Bush could have successfully gone into Iraq?
No the people would have been completely pissed at being lied to and the admin trying to divert from the REAL reason we went into the middle east with guns blazing.
The American people would have ripped him a new one.

Saddam was removed because it was believed he had WMDs, for his support of terrorism, and to free the Iraqi people from a murderous dictator. Everyone believed he had WMDs. Tell us how Bush fooled the Brits into coming along with us.

Veracity of the memo
Following the advice of company lawyers, Michael Smith, the journalist who first reported on the Downing Street Memo, has said that he protected the identity of his source by reproducing all documents and returning the 'originals' back to the source. In some cases, a document was retyped from a photocopy, and the photocopy destroyed.[41] This has led some to question the document's authenticity, but no official source has questioned it, and it has been unofficially confirmed to various news organisations, including the Washington Post, NBC, The Sunday Times, and the LA Times. Several other documents obtained by Smith, and treated similarly (see below), were confirmed as genuine by the UK Foreign Office.[42]
One of the first articles on the memo to appear in the US media quoted "a former senior US official", who, speaking on condition of anonymity, called the memo's account "an absolutely accurate description of what transpired" during the senior British intelligence officer's visit to Washington.[43] UK Prime Minister Tony Blair denied that anything in the memo demonstrated misconduct and said that it added little to what was already known about how British policy on Iraq developed, also commenting that "that memorandum was written before we went to the United Nations".[44]
White House spokesman Scott McClellan, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw did not confirm or deny the accuracy of the memo when questioned about it.[citation needed]
George W. Bush has not responded to questions from Congress regarding the memo's accuracy.
When asked about the contents of the memo by Plaid Cymru MP Adam Price in the House of Commons on 29 June 2005, Blair again refrained from disputing the document's authenticity, saying only "[…]that memo and other documents of the time were covered by the Butler review. In addition, that was before we went to the United Nations and secured the second resolution, 1441, which had unanimous support."[45]
According to CNN, currently classified documents which were dated at the same month as the Downing Street memo, March 2002, were uncovered in Iraq, and contained evidence that Russian intelligence notified Iraq about the "determination of the United States and Britain to launch military action."[46]

I remember film of bush crawling around the podium at a dinner, pretending to look for WMDs, and the audience thought it was hilarious. Rich bastards yukking their heads off while our troops were getting killed because of the phantom WMDs.

I suppose you can cite some evidence that these Dems were told an actual invasion was on the calendar.

Bush was "crawling around the podium at a dinner, pretending to look for WMDs" is a lie. It was a joke at a dinner and he wasn't crawling around the podium. If you need to lie then you're finished.
