A new study has provided the first count of the number of false statements made by the Bush administration in the lead-up to its invasion of Iraq. According to the Center for Public Integrity, President Bush and top White House officials made a total of 935 false statements about Iraq’s alleged national security threat in the two years following the 9/11 attacks. The study counts a total 532 times that Bush and other officials stated unequivocally that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, was seeking to obtain them or had ties to al-Qaeda.
