I don't have the exact quotes or how they parsed their words as politicians do to blunt political attacks but if they did lie, then it was the latter in saying there were no WMD’s in order to mitigate the damage of being perceived as being caught in a lie that was the basis for sacrificing the lives of so many American troops.

No, there were WMD’s but they were moved to humiliate Bush and to stem the tide of American patriotism. There's one thing the Democrats cannot tolerate if they want to keep power and that's a united America and there's nothing that accomplishes that like an illegitimate war. The Russians were in on it as well as the Democrats, working together, abetted by the UN. I'm sure McCain was in on it as well, Bush's old political rival.

see post number 59- There were wmd’s- even the NYT of all publications admitted there were because the evidence was overwhelming evidence that Iraq had them and hid them or moved them out of country before America got there- The CIA report also admitted this fact- begrudgingly- you can find that report online if so inclined-

These munitions and wmds were not old- they were not ineffective- they were the real deal- over 5000 were found buried- with many many more that were never found very likely-
