I've just never heard of anyone who lies all the time about everything.
And lies even when the truth would serve him better.
This bothered me about the previous Republican administration.
There was at least one good argument to be made for invading Iraq. Afghanistan had just shown that when a government - not some local blowhard, but the government itself - threatens to attack you, you need take it at face value. Especially when that government has a history of harboring terrorists, and funding and organizing terrorist attacks in other countries. That was also true of Iraq.
(Granted, it was also true of the US.)
I'm not saying that it was
sufficient reason for the invasion, but it was certainly a good reason.
But I never heard this from Rove, Cheney and Bush II. It says a lot about them that they instead based the invasion on lies.
