>>>That's the thing about liberals, they INVENT crap. BTW, all Saddam had to do to avoid the war was let the UN inspectors in and do their job.<<<


Priceless. You rant about liberals inventing crap and then insist the war could have been avoided if UN weapons inspectors had been allowed into Iraq.

This update on the inspection effort was given on January 28, 2003, 2 months after the inspections began and 7 weeks before Bush told the inspectors to get the hell out of his way so he could start dropping bombs.


"Iraq has on the whole cooperated rather well so far with UNMOVIC in this field. The most important point to make is that access has been provided to all sites we have wanted to inspect and with one exception it has been prompt. We have further had great help in building up the infrastructure of our office in Baghdad and the field office in Mosul. Arrangements and services for our plane and our helicopters have been good. The environment has been workable.

Our inspections have included universities, military bases, presidential sites and private residences. Inspections have also taken place on Fridays, the Muslim day of rest, on Christmas day and New Years day. These inspections have been conducted in the same manner as all other inspections. We seek to be both effective and correct."

In other words, you have it exactly backwards. George Bush could have avoided the war had he allowed the inspectors to stay on the job.
