A bulletin from Planet W.
Salon blogger Joe
Conason has picked up on a
truly weird statement that Our Only President made in a story
reported by Dana
Milbank and Dana Priest of
the Washington Post.
George W. Bush said that he decided
to go to war with Iraq after having given Saddam Hussein "a chance to
allow the inspectors in, and he wouldn't let them in."
Do I need to point out that Hans
Blix, Mohamed ElBareidi, and company were in Iraq, diligently
looking for weapons, and left only when the threat of a US invasion
came imminent?
Asks Conason: "What possessed the
president to make an assertion that everyone on the planet knows to
be untrue? And who is going to take the responsibility for this
one?"
