Joe Conason points out a quote from George Bush that the rest of the liberal press missed yesterday:

"We gave him a chance to allow the inspectors in, and he wouldn't let them in."

I can see how this would cause some to question the veracity of the President's statements. I can even see how some folks would become a little scared what with the President not being aware of the events leading to his preemptive invasion of Iraq.

My personal feeling is that Bush is setting up the Reagan Defense as used in the Arms For Hostages scandal - Pretend You Don't Have Any Idea What Was Going On. I could take the easy shot here and say that shouldn't be hard but I won't. Oh well, I just did.

Now, for those of you that don't trust a steenkin' liberal Clinton flack like Joe Conason, go watch the video for yourselves. It's the video link titled "President Reaffirms Strong Position on Liberia".
