They had a fixed idea. To assert that one's fixed idea is a fact is lying as long as you don't have enough evidence.A lie (also called prevarication), is a type of deception in the form of an untruthful statement, especially with the intention to deceive others, often with the further intention to maintain a secret or reputation, protect someone's feelings or to avoid a punishment. To lie is to state something that one knows to be false or that one has not reasonably ascertained to be true with the intention that it be taken for the truth by oneself or someone else. A liar is a person who is lying, who has previously lied, or who tends by nature to lie repeatedly.
They had none, for there was none. They used lots of false evidence that needed to be dropped even before the war began because it was the result of at best sloppy work.
They ignored selectively mountains of evidence that was contrary to their fixed idea (like huge documentation of the U.-N. inspectors - some of them working for the CIA - who found next to nothing for the last seven years). They dropped common sense overboard and they manipulated the intelligence services into looking in one direction only.
There was no way to be reasonably "beyond doubt", and it was quite obvious from a distant and neutral point of view that they were pulling assertions out of their a**es.
They were and are liars and manipulators.
Whenever they complain that I insult them while writing this; let them come, let them call me to a German court. Their case would be dismissed immediately as obvious nonsense, that's for sure.
I'm sorry that you went back to this, as it's quite obvious that none of us is going to be convinced by the other one, and the thread was already back to topic/title.
