From the website:
Iraq on the Record is a searchable collection of 237 specific misleading statements made by Bush Administration officials about the threat posed by Iraq. It contains statements that were misleading based on what was known to the Administration at the time the statements were made. It does not include statements that appear mistaken only in hindsight. If a statement was an accurate reflection of U.S. intelligence at the time it was made, it was excluded even if it now appears erroneous.

Now, all of those who say Bush didn't lie, you can see for yourself. The specific lies are listed with an explanation as to why they were lies and how they were misleading.

No, the man has done absolutely nothing wrong. Impeachment would just be a political lynching.

I don't know.
