[Vision2020] Bush the truth teller: note to Dick

[rvrcowboy]

Sunil,

Thank you for your response.  I assure you I will check it out and get back
to you about it.  It may take some time because I am having some personal
problems within my own family and at work at the moment.  I just did  not
want you to think I was ignoring your researched response to my challenge.
Thank you for your patience.

Dick

Here's

> It was Bush who forced the U.N. inspectors to leave in March 2003 so the

> But faced with growing questions about his justifications for war in
summer

of

> "We gave him (Saddam Hussein) a chance to allow the inspectors in, and he

decided

grounds
> that it was Hussein who "chose war," not Bush.

> Meeting no protest from the Washington press corps, Bush continued
repeating
