Only to those who have chosen to accept at face value anything they're told by this administration.

I hate to call anything an outright lie, but that comes as close as anything I've ever read. Can any poster who makes such a ridiculous claim be taken seriously?

I can't help but wonder just what you would call "actual evidence". How much evidence do you need to convince you of the fact that this administration has not been truthful with you. Did you miss our little performance in front of the U.N.? Did you miss Ms. Rice's lying before Congress? If congressional testimonies and signed documents do not constitute "actual evidence", I don't know what does.

You'll find no argument from me on this point.

As are yours.
