President Bush never demended the return of weapons inspectors

I wonder why WE know that but the press doesn't.

I wonder why WE know that but the press doesn't.

Because the press would actually have had to listen to the President Speech and we know they can't do that

LOL, I wonder if the press is really that stupid. As if the Bush Admin. wasn't expecting a move like this. I said it the other day right after the speech to the UN, He didn't ask for weapons inspectors, he just pointed out all the violatiopns and said Saddam had his chance and now it's time to act, The last paragraph of the speech says it all:

If we meet our responsibilities, if we overcome this danger, we can arrive at a very different future. The people of Iraq can shake off their captivity. They can one day join a democratic Afghanistan and a democratic Palestine, inspiring reforms throughout the Muslim world. These nations can show by their example that honest government, and respect for women, and the great Islamic tradition of learning can triumph in the Middle East and beyond. And we will show that the promise of the United Nations can be fulfilled in our time.

Neither of these outcomes is certain. Both have been set before us. We must choose between a world of fear and a world of progress. We cannot stand by and do nothing while dangers gather. We must stand up for our security, and for the permanent rights and the hopes of mankind. By heritage and by choice, the United States of America will make that stand. And, delegates to the United Nations, you have the power to make that stand, as well.

Good question, and good catch. This should be the question of the week.

[TLBSHOW]

Oh come on howlin you know the answer to that one. Freerepublic is #1 for conservative news and truth.

[Torie]

Well, what was Bush demanding at the UN then? I thought he was demanding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. If Iraq says we don't have any, and come see, then what? Inspectors seem inevitable foreplay here, whether we like it or not.

"President Bush never demended the return of weapons inspectors"

"I wonder why WE know that but the press doesn't"

I've been wondering the same thing since reading the very first wire stories to come out the day of the president's speech.

The press has had plenty of time to correct the confusion...if it were an honest mistake, that is.
