James Kirchick in the (shocka!) Los Angeles Times, on the radically dishonest claims that refuse to die: Bush never lied to us about Iraq.
Nearly every prominent Democrat in the country has repeated some version of this charge, and the notion that the Bush administration deceived the American people has become the accepted narrative of how we went to war.
