BBC (Tuesday): Bush denies Iraq is in civil war

Bush denies Iraq is in civil war

US President George W Bush has said he does not believe Iraq has descended into civil war but urged the nation's leaders to confront sectarian violence.

Mr Bush said Iraqis "had a chance to fall apart and they didn't".

Last weekend ex-Iraqi interim prime minister Iyad Allawi said 50 to 60 people were dying every day and that the country was in civil war.

Mr Bush was speaking at the White House in only his second major news conference there this year.

Once upon a time, there was a wicked witch and a spoiled prince. The prince offended the witch, so the witch put a hex on him. Afterward, the prince was unable to utter a sentence containing the word Iraq that contained a grain of truth.

"Saddam wouldn't let the UN inspectors in"

"no one could have known"

"everyone thought"

2. LIES

I get furious every time I heard Bush say Saddam had the choice to disarm and/disclose and he refused. How in the world do you disarm when you don't have the arms? How do you disclose you have arms when you have no arms? That's on top of the "Saddam wouldn't let the inspectors in."

3. "the very weapons the dictator TELLS US HE DOES NOT HAVE"

said george w. bush before waging his illegal war of aggression against Iraq.

So according to bush's own words, Hussein DID declare he had no wmd. Hussein told the truth.

bush lied.

But then, bush has been a MFing liar his entire life.
