Reasons For War?

Joe Conason points out how Bush keeps telling a lie about the weapons inspectors.

(Salon)And when Thomas reminded him that she had asked about Iraq, he said, "I also saw a threat in Iraq. I was hoping to solve this problem diplomatically. That's why I went to the [United Nations] Security Council; that's why it was important to pass [Resolution] 1441, which was unanimously passed. And the world said,(1)disarm, disclose, or face serious consequences -- and therefore, (2)we worked with the world, we worked to make sure that Saddam Hussein heard the message of the world. And (3)when he chose to deny inspectors, when he chose not to disclose [emphasis added], then I had the difficult decision to make to remove him. And we did, and the world is safer for it."
(1)Wrong, (2)Wrong, and (3)Wrong!
