This is a list of headlines, with explanation of if or why it is a false pretense. For example I searched for "Bush WMD" and I got 32 results. Then I get headlines like "White House Press Briefing by President Bush" and "White House Press Briefing by Ari Fleischer" I click on More Details, and get transcripts, some highlighted in yellow. I like the idea of this, but it looks like they need to do more work before I can be convinced that Bush lied over 255 times and not that he just didn't know better. I blame Rumsfeld and others, not Bush. He was just talking about what his advisor's told him to talk about.
