"beardedbruce":

for a second time, let me post :

[Arne]: "did Saddam Hussein have a weapons program? And the answer is, absolutely. And we gave him a chance to allow the inspectors in, and he wouldn't let them in."

Where do you find ANY of this to be false?

The bolded part is quite obvious and blatant.

Did he have a prohibited weapons program? YES, according to the UN report.

No. Even the U.S. was reduced to using the mealy-mouthed "Weapons of mass destruction program related activities".

Did the UN demand that he allow inspectors in? YES

That wasn't one of the assertions.

Did he allow them the access that the UN had specified? NO, according to the UN report.

False. But immaterial. He let them in. While they were initially hassled, Saddam did ease up even on that, allowing inspections of the palaces and such, and Blix said that the co-operation was improving. But once again, that wasn't the assertion Dubya made.

So?

So Dubya's a liar. And you're an eedjit for refusing to admit it.

Cheers,
