LTTEs that probably won't be published, part 3

At his recent press conference, President Bush stated that “ . . . we worked with the world, we worked to make sure that Saddam Hussein heard the message of the world. And when he chose to deny inspectors, when he chose not to disclose, then I had the difficult decision to make to remove him.” Bush seems to routinely forget that weapons inspectors were in Iraq, searching and finding none of the weapons that a small number of people in our government claimed would be there. The inspectors had to be ordered to leave Iraq on the eve of invasion. Why does the President keep making these misleading statements? His actions and statements almost make it seem as if he would have invaded Iraq whether or not he thought they had threatening weapons.
