Actually both the Bipartisan 9-11 commission and the internal investigation by the DOD found that Bush created the Office of Special Plans under Donald Feith for the sole purpose of claiming he had good solid intelligence when the CIA and everyone else was telling him it was not.
It is called "stovepiping" information. you can split hairs over whether it was technically a lie, but everyone agrees it was a massive deception and the wrong thing to do. He did not lie, but he had other people lie for him in order to get us into the war.
