My word Jack The Sailor that is terribly decent of you:

I get to say, "That I don't think that Bush lied" - i.e. expression of a personal opinion.

While you get to broadcast, "He lied so much about the war.." - statement of fact. Shouldn't that be, "I believe (or I think) he lied so much about the war..."

And of course you are not going to go into detail to defend your statements and beliefs, because they have no substance. When pinned down to inconvenient detail it becomes obvious that you have no arguement at all.
