"Saddam chose to deny inspectors"

Bush repeated this bald-faced lie recently. The cowering press still lets him get away with it, but the public is no longer fooled.

    Enough already

    JCH - I don't get it, why are the presidents lies defended over and over again? There is no question what's meant with "chose to deny". The president clearly stated "we gave him a chance to allow the inspectors in, and he wouldn't let them in". He is not expressing himself badly, he knows what he wants to convey with his statements. He knows what his supporters as well as his opponents understand when he makes that claim. He is not that stupid.
