History lesson

In case Bush is confused, some analysis from the Post:

The administration's overarching point is true: Intelligence agencies overwhelmingly believed that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, and very few members of Congress from either party were skeptical about this belief before the war began in 2003. Indeed, top lawmakers in both parties were emphatic and certain in their public statements.

But Bush and his aides had access to much more voluminous intelligence information than did lawmakers, who were dependent on the administration to provide the material. And the commissions cited by officials, though concluding that the administration did not pressure intelligence analysts to change their conclusions, were not authorized to determine whether the administration exaggerated or distorted those conclusions.

I think it was pretty outrageous for Bush to claim that his opponents are misrepresenting the facts, given how mind-numbingly ironical that statement is coming from him. I'll support any effort to hold him and the rest of his administration accountable for policies or attitudes which privileged information that supported the justifications for war that have turned out to be false.
