Show me where in the Butler report or the original information where it says "Saddam HAS". I am not finding that in the original reports or the Butler report. I am only seeing information that is preferced by qualifiers such as "may have", "could possibly", or "is likely". The closet thing are sentences that say "information available at the time indicated a beliefe that Saddam has". That is not the same as say "saddam has". The meaning changes quite a bit when you black out the qualifier.
Granted I have not read all 180+ pages yet.
EDIT: If you can show me this I will be willing to alter my opinion of this instance from "he lied" to "he expoited questionable intel for his own needs." That might not sound like much of a change but in reality it is a huge difference.
I will still hold the opinion that the man is a liar though. I just saw the other night a series of several clips of the president making statements then clips of him six months or so later saying he never made the statement on the first clip. That is pretty hard to dispute.
