Good work, Joe, thanks!
I cringe each time Bush repeats that lie, and cringe a second time that no one calls him on it. The phrase "Saddam denied the inspectors" is just one of several memes and slogans that Bush utters over and over, even though they are ambiguous, or just plain false.
The one that irritates me whenever Bush says it is, "I took an oath to protect the American people," or similarly, "I promised to defend the American people." This is a nice saying, and probably polls well, but he is clearly getting confused about his oath of office, which says "protect and defend the **Constitution** of the United States."
Oh, if only Bush would protect the Constitution, like his oath actually says!!
Joe I wish you'd look this one up, and call him on it, too! Thanks for your good work,
