More Fatwas from the Prez

It's good to see the Dreyfuss Report back. Here he uses Socratic irony to take apart Doublethink Dubya's latest speach. The whole thing is worth the read. Click on the link:

The transcript from President Bush’s speech yesterday at the Woodrow Wilson Center indicates, here and there, that the president got “applause.” If so, it can only have been for sheer effrontery. Take this:

When a unanimous Security Council gave [Saddam] one final chance to disclose and disarm, or face serious consequences, he refused to comply with that final opportunity. At any point along the way, Saddam Hussein could have avoided war by complying with the just demands of the international community. The United States did not choose war -- the choice was Saddam Hussein's.

Now, how exactly could Saddam have avoided war? By ridding himself of weapons that he didn’t have? Iraq delivered a massive volume, tens of thousands of pages of documents, detailing everything about its nonexistent WMD program to the UN in December, 2002. He allowed UN inspectors access to every nook and cranny of the country. I think we know which party chose war.
