Invoking the 25th Amendment

The Madness of King George


On July 14, 2003, George W. Bush answered a question from a Washington Post reporter about the Niger uranium hoax by saying:

"The fundamental question is, 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. And, therefore, after a reasonable request, we decided to remove him from power..."
How can Bush say Saddam "wouldn't let in" when everyone in the world knows this is not true?

Bush's statement - delivered with utter seriousness with UN Secretary General Kofi Annan at his side - cannot be excused as a misstatement. The United States of America went to war in Iraq - at a cost of 212 (and counting) U.S. soldiers, 6,000 (and counting) Iraqi civilians, thousands of Iraqi soldiers, and $50 billion (and counting) taxpayer dollars - after four full months (11-18-02 through 3-19-03) of inspections by UN experts led by Hans Blix (UNMOVIC) and Mohamed El Baradei (IAEA).

The exhaustive efforts of the inspectors were the top news stories throughout the world from beginning to end. George W. Bush commented on them repeatedly and in detail, and he defied the UN by invading Iraq because he insisted the inspections had failed.

If George W. Bush now believes Saddam "wouldn't let in," then it is self-evident that he has simply lost touch with reality. In plain English, Bush has gone mad.

1. Anyone

who thinks it is macho to talk recklessly (as in the 'bring 'em on' remark) is irresponsible at the least. Anyone who tells out and out lies and expects to be believed is either insane or on drugs, or both.

3. Good cartoon

There was another with a similar theme that showed a tower with rebels in it saying, "Bring 'em on? You bet!" and the US soldiers hiding behind a bunker saying, "Will someone tell the president he isn't Clint Eastwood"

4. I signed the petition. Heck, I signed all of them.

Has anyone else? I know it's a shot in the dark, but between calling for a recall, impeachment or invoking the 25th, eventually something has got to stick.
