Not made a point about lying to start a war. So I offered another example to see if that was a real principle of his,
But, Lincoln did not lie about the reason he as President wanted to start a Civil War. ...
Yes, he did.
He misrepresented himself in the election as a moderate, when he was a radical abolitionist.
He also claimed that the war was about, at first, tariffs, and then about just maintaining the union.
If maintaining the union was his goal, he could have done that by NOT running for office.
He lied the US into a war, and you make excuses for him, revealing yourself to be a hypocrite.
You don't really care about the Iraq War, or the people that died. You are just using it and them for cheap partisan points.
