He Lies
Another speech to justify what can’t be justified: an elective, preemptive war.
The spin is that the Shrubbery “took responsibility” for going to war. Like, hell he did.
At any point along the way, Saddam Hussein could have avoided war by complying with the just demands of the international community. The United States did not choose war — the choice was Saddam Hussein’s.
Fact: there were no WMDs in Iraq when the country was invaded.
Fact: Saddam’s government had been saying for years that their WMDs were gone.
Fact: the UN weapons inspectors were forced to leave by the US war and were not allowed to complete their mandated mission.
Another example of Bushspeak, which is called lying in the real world.
