"We gave him a chance to allow the inspectors in, and he wouldn't let them in."
Bush's amazing revisionist reason why the US went to war with Iraq, part 94
The Howard Dean lot are apopletic, as is Joe Conason on Salon: Bush has recently claimed that the reason that the US went to war was because the weapons inspectors weren’t being allowed to do their job.
See it for yourself: the White House’s official RealMedia stream (it’s at 11:54 towards the end), or my own hacked-together QuickTime clip. He actually said that.
What is the man thinking? How can he possibly say that with a straight face?
