Lying liars and the lies they tell

Talk about pants on fire! Yesterday President Bush told an outright lie to an invited audience at a town hall meeting in Cleveland. In his brief mention on the Iraq war, Bush said:

“The same people that attacked us on September the 11th is a crowd that is now bombing people, killing innocent men, women and children, many of whom are Muslims.”

How wrong is he? Jonathan Landay at McClatchy Newspapers has debunked Bush's statements thusly:

1) Prior To The War, Al Qaeda Was Not Operating In Iraq.
2) Even Now, Al Qaeda Is Not The Main Source Of Instability.

Think Progress has more, including video of the President's speech.
