Either Bush is a liar or he has really bad timing, depending on whose version of the story you wish to believe. Either way, he has a responsibility to convey the truth and to choose the timing of his words more carefully. Transparency and trust is crucial. Bush has done nothing but instill fear at home and abroad. He has done nothing but create conflict and animosity worldwide. He wanted to be a war president and he is. Trouble is, most people don't want war.

I also believe that the difference between whether or not Iraq was co-operating with the process of inspections or whether or not they were co-operating in other ways, is a moot point. If they were co-operating with the process of the inspections, there was no reason to invade.
