Ah yes. The key, to loosely quote Reagan, is not to lie, but to misinform.
1) Reagan, when questioned in the Iran-Contra scandal, said he had nothing to do with any of it. Recently declassified documents wholly implicates him in it all, from the convenient release of hostages on his inauguration (treason) to the covert arms sales, but we don't try dying people with Alzheimer's.
2) Bush I said that the Gulf War was not about oil interests, but to protect Saudi Arabia on request from their nation (our original intent at least). Quite the contrary, though, as declassified documents show that it was all on request from the oil companies, who saw it as a threat to their reserves.
But you are right. They don't all lie to a federal grand jury...or at least they didn't get caught lying in the case of Reagan.
