Condolezza Rice, US Secretary of State, prominently featured as one of the story tellers in Bush's litany of lies he used to justify his war with Iraq. Her most famous lie was when she warned Americans before the Iraq war, about 'the mushroom cloud behind Iraq's non-existent nuclear weapons programme'. She helped frighten the American people and stampede Congress into support for Bush's Iraq war.

How many times can Americans be fooled into supporting Bush's endless wars?
