Well, perhaps we're disagreeing on what "a lie" is. When I say that someone is lying, I mean that someone knew one thing as fact, but deliberately distorted or falsified what they said in order to say something different than what they knew as truth.

On the other hand, a case could be made for "a lie" being a statement that though you believe it to be true when you say it, it is later found out that what you said was not true. Personally, I don't call that a deliberate lie, I call that being mistaken.

For example, in your meme, you said that Bush claimed Iraq could launch WMD on 45 minutes notice. In actuality though, Bush didn't say that, Blair did:

So, since your meme was incorrect, should I go around saying that Acidus lied?
