Deceiving your enemy in war is not considered a lie, at least not by anyone I've known, deception in war is done to defeat your enemy and to limit the deaths of your own troops.
From this, I gather that the verses I've quoted seem to say that lying is wrong? I'm assuming this is your view on those verses because now you're trying to move the goalposts.
War is an altogether different situation to what we're dealing with. The sort of deception that is at play in wars has to do with setting up your enemy to be ambushed and what not. What I'm referring to in the OP is when you are asked for information by someone and you outright tell a lie.

Nice ad hom. Now answer the question or consider those verses as saying lying is always wrong.
