But Bush Lied!  

Those of us who actually follow the news know that the "Bush Lied!" mantra is bunk. Those who spout it would have you believe that he was the only leader in the world saying that Iraq had WMD ready to use in the days prior to our invasion. Of course that isn't true, and here's one more piece of information to back that up.

In a recent interview with Parade, General Tommy Franks said that
The biggest surprise for him was that they've found no weapons of mass destruction (WMD), the "reason we went to war." He says multiple Middle Eastern leaders, including Jordan's King Abdullah and Egypt's Hosni Mubarak, told Franks that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. In January 2003, Mubarak said point blank to Franks, "Saddam has WMD-biologicals, actually-and he will use them on your troops."
Hat tip to the Belmont Club for finding it first.
