Bush still lying about UN weapons inspectors

In July 2003, Bush stood in front of a bunch of so-called “journalists” from the USA and declared that he had no choice about going into Iraq, since Saddam did not let the UN weapons inspectors back into the country. NO ONE CONFRONTED HIM OR CORRECTED HIM ON THIS OBVIOUS LIE. I wrote a letter to the local paper at the time commenting on how sad it was that the dictator Saddam could OUT-TRUTH our president.

And it has happened several other times since then. Bush has made the claim that UN weapons inspectors were not allowed into Iraq – and each time, the corporate media idiots just let it pass. My guess is that Bush lies so much that he gets confused as to what are lies and what is the truth.

But, one would think, after all these years that our corporate media idiots would stop letting such OBVIOUS lies go unchallenged. One would think ….. wrongly.

Just this month, Bush again made the claim that UN weapons inspectors were not allowed into Iraq by Saddam. And yet again, a corporate media idiot, Charles Gibson in this case, did not challenge him. Instead, he pretended like Bush never said what he said.

Here’s the quote:

GIBSON: If the intelligence had been right, would there have been an Iraq War?

BUSH: Yes, because Saddam Hussein was unwilling to let the inspectors go in to determine whether or not the U.N. resolutions were being upheld.

It is just unbelievable that these corporate media idiots would act like such suck up whores even as Bush is leaving office and the Republicans are out of power. Do they have any self-respect at all? Telling the truth about our government and CIA can get you kicked off the career ladder, (see upcoming post on Gary Webb) but if you don’t want to tell people the truth, then why be a journalist at all?

And, just to show that they can be suck up whores to the Bush administration also, the Washington Post praised Gibson’s interview with Bush and failed to note the obvious lie that Bush told.

According to FAIR, it is the FIFTH time that Bush told this particular lie.

Well, the answer is: THE ECONOMY.

Yes, Bush and Cheney should have been impeached. And the economy will be a longer more severe problem than either Iraq or Katrina was for Americans.
