I think "W" is smoking some serious shit
Salon's Joe Conason is incredulous at Bush's latest defense:
"A 'darn good' quote that almost nobody quoted.
" 'We gave him a chance to allow the inspectors in, and he wouldn't let them in.'
"George W. Bush uttered that amazing sentence Monday to justify the war in Iraq, according to the Washington Post.
"What? Yes, I promise that's what the man said. (And by 'him,' the president clearly meant Saddam Hussein -- not Kim Jong Il, who actually has refused to let international inspectors into North Korea.)
"Now a presidential statement so frontally at variance with the universally acknowledged facts obviously presents a problem for the White House press corps. He wasn't joking, and he didn't sound disoriented or unwell. Although Dana Priest and Dana Milbank wrote the story as delicately as they possibly could, they couldn't make it seem less weird. . . .
"What possessed the president to make an assertion that everyone on the planet knows to be untrue? And who is going to take the responsibility for this one?"
