Pure assumption, no facts presented.
You say he LIED, so you must mean the world community lied as a whole; including but not limited to Bill Clinton and his administration, Japan, Germany, France, Russia, England and the entirety of the UN.
If you blame GWB for lying because he relied on his intelligence community I'll give you an analogy. Please bear with me. You're a supervisor in a company. Your subordinates tell you your competitor across the street is going to have a super clearance sale next week. You pass this information along to your boss and he prepares to one-up that company with your own super-sale the same week. Next week rolls along and the competitor doesn't have that sale, something went awry. You told your boss it was going to happen and it didn't (yet). Are you a liar as well?
I'll give you that so far we've revealed the fact (in my opinion) Iraq wasn't an imminent threat. However, I believe we had 100% authority to go into Iraq for numerous violations of the cease fire agreement Saddam signed with us in 1991. Do you recall "unfettered" inspections? He threw out the weapons inspectors. Do you remember the "no fly zones"? His military shot surface to air missles at our planes MANY times. Were those violations of the cease fire agreement?....YES. How long should we endure such activity?....5yrs, 10yrs, 12yrs. Apparently 12yrs is the magic number.
I'm sorry if you enjoy issuing idle threats and never acting on them.
FYI, I have presented 100% fact.
