Rivisionist History indeed!

[chequita guevara]

Is the President HIGH!?! I mean, only that can explain the incredible lie he told Tuesday.

". . . 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. . . ." Excuse me

Does anyone else here remember Hussein not letting the inspectors in?

Full press release. It's in the last paragraph. Apparently he looked right at Kofi Anan as he said it, too.

[DinoDoc]

I think he means that Hussein didn't cooperate fully with them.

[MikeH]

That's what he should have said then.

[DinoDoc]

This is Bush.

[Thoth]

Bush is a liar. He lied before the war, he lied during the war, it's not much suprise that he's still lying after the war. It's a pity George Sr didn't use birth control.

I seem to remember them being kicked out for a few years. What exactly was the cause for them getting back in again?

[Harovan]

Good point.

Yes, for spying.

Again, Saddam-apologist bull****. Explain how openly identified Americans, traveling with Iraqi escorts everywhere they went, would be able to "spy" on anything at all? Especially, in that their jobs (as known to everyone) was to report everything they saw publicly, via UNSCOM's reports to the UNSC? What the **** were they gonna find with their Iraqi escorts tagging along that was juicy enough to report to US intel, but wouldn't have been made available to the US and ever other UNSC member via their interim reports?

The "spy" allegations were just a ruse by Saddam to kick one nationality out of UNSCOM teams, so Saddam could (in his mind) dictate conditions he knew UNSCOM would never accept, as a pretext for stopping inspections. Saddam was obligation to accept unrestricted inspections, and to make complete disclosures, as part of the cease fire agreement.

Here, I think we can agree that all this stuff is true:

(1) Bush has a tendancy to occasionally stretch the truth.

(2) However, he is also a dumbass, and whenever possible the dumbassedness shows instead of the lie.

I thought Babs Bush's looks were supposed to be the Bush family birth control.

Why don't you get a new job at the Complaint Desk.
No, that won't work.
You have to listen to complaints there, not whine yourself.
Oh well. It was a thought.

He's so stupid.

I really wonder why the admin. and the neocons can;t just come out and say "it was never about, isnpections, the UN, or WMD's: it was all about remaking the ME into a more IUS friendly place! We were right, damn it, so get used to it!"

At least that way no one could ever accuse them of continuing to lie; only about their arrogance, and perhaps, their faulty ideology.
