Bush lie:
Bush made his remarks to reporters on 7-14-03 with UN Secretary General Kofi Annan at his side, in response to a question from the Washington Post.
As quoted on the White House Web site, Bush said:
"The fundamental question is, did Saddam Hussein have a weapons program? And the answer is, absolutely. And we gave him a chance to allow the inspectors in, and he wouldn't let them in. And, therefore, after a reasonable request, we decided to remove him from power..."
The Truth:
Everyone in the world knows that Saddam Hussein allowed a fully-equipped team of UN inspectors to comb every inch of his country - including previously off-limits Presidential palaces - for four full months."
George W. Bush knew this because he demanded that Iraq allow inspectors to return in 2002.
He knew this because millions of citizens around the world took to the streets to demand continued inspections, not war.
He knew this because he spoke about the inspections repeatedly, almost daily.
He knew this because he specifically urged the inspectors to leave Iraq when he issued his 48-hour ultimatum to Iraq on March 17, 2003." |
For you the truth is that in 4 months inspectors were allowed to comb every inch of Iraq. Any clue as to how large Iraq is and that during that time Iraq failed to fully comply with UN 1441. Iraq was required to be in full compliance with 1441 and declare fully their weapons programs by December 8, 2002. They failed to do so. You might want to read UN 1441 -
UN Security Council Resolution 1441
Then read this,
Update 27 January 2003 , presented by Hans Blix and while there was some cooperation it is obvious that Iraq played the "see what you can find" game and did not cooperate as they had been directed to do.
I guess you would have been satisfied to leave Hussein alone for another 12 years continuing with his game of thumbing his nose at the world, shooting at our aircraft, and building a weapons program to a level you would have been proud of.
