It's because he lied under oath. It doesn't matter if he was lying about sex our about what brand of toaster he uses. It's perjury and if you or I did it, we'd go to prison and end up with a felony on our record.
Not true. Wrong intelligence does not imply dishonesty. By your standard, President Clinton was also a liar on the subject of WMD.
They leave plenty of doubt. The Downing Street Memo is minutes from a meeting with a British intelligence officer. The "smoking gun" from the memo is a line about how the facts and intelligence were fixed around the policy. It doesn't actually quote anybody or go into details. It's hearsay. Rather underwhelming for a smoking gun. Even within the same document, it discusses the British government's concerns about the event of Saddam using WMD on soldiers should they invade. Another DSM document says that Bush wanted Tony Blair's input before making decisions.
Just read an article on CNN by a repub pundit that states that there is not a republican that could defeat Obama in a 2012 election at this point in time.
What would koko say about that? I couldnt' resist.
He'd probably start citing all sorts of polls he gets from less than reputable sources.

Yes, we are a bunch of fringe liberals.
What does that have to do with anything? What he's saying is fundamentally true about foreign policy- there are some questions that it doesn't even occur to us to ask.
Yes, the House impeached him.
What reports stated they don't exist? Surely not the 2002 NIE assessment. All fifteen countries on the UN security council believed they existed. The Clinton administration believed they existed and had an official policy of regime change in Iraq. Prominent Democrats are on record talking about the WMDs, even before Bush's presidency.
