Critics of the Iraq war have long insisted that President George W. Bush misled the American people by pretending that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction in order to get us into a needless and unjustified war. The meme went: “Bush lied, people died.”
It wasn’t true. George Bush believed what senior Democrats and U.S. and foreign intelligence services believed at the time: Saddam had
used such weapons previously and had not verifiably eliminated either his remaining stocks or the capacity to make more.
What we now know, though, is that Mr. Bush’s successor
did disinform the American people, denying that a carefully planned jihadist attack in Benghazi, Libya killed four American diplomats on September 11, 2012. Will those once so insistent on presidential truth-telling now say: “Obama lied
after people died”?
