We're Talking about WJC here, right? I thought that the NYT started running stories about Iraq becoming a threat sometime in 1998.
It Wasn't Just Miller's Story

A quick search through the Times archives before 2001 produces such headlines as "Iraq Has Network of Outside Help on Arms, Experts Say"(November 1998), "U.S. Says Iraq Aided Production of Chemical Weapons in Sudan"(August 1998), "Iraq Suspected of Secret Germ War Effort" (February 2000), "Signs of Iraqi Arms Buildup Bedevil U.S. Administration" (February 2000), "Flight Tests Show Iraq Has Resumed a Missile Program" (July 2000)."
Each of these stories need to be verified in my own evaluation of the NYT, but without digging into each story, it seems that the "Bush lied" accusation is on shakey ground.
If there is one thing that I'm totally sure of it's that I'm wrong in thinking this and I'm reasonably sure that you will explain why.
It seems that I have to actually subscribe to get the archives.
