    Even worse, and no one seems to be commenting on

    the fact that he then goes on to say that we "had to" attack Saddam anyway because he "wouldn't allow the inspectors in."

    The inspectors WERE in. We had to pull them out in order to attack.

    Bush made the same statement to the press when he was sitting just inches away from Kofi Annan, who surely knew Saddam had in fact allowed the U.N. inspectors into Iraq.

    Bush: Liar or idiot? It's tough to say. I'd say a little of both.
