Bush: Iraq is playing 'willful charade'

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush accused Iraq of engaging in a "willful charade" with U.N. weapons inspectors and said not using force to remove those weapons would leave the world facing "unacceptable risks."

In his prime-time news conference Thursday, Bush said disarming Iraq is the world's problem because President Saddam Hussein provides funding and save haven for terrorists.

"The attacks of September the 11th, 2001, show what the enemies of America did with four airplanes. We will not wait to see what terrorists or terrorist states could do with weapons of mass destruction," he said.

When asked about a possible compromise on a new U.N. resolution, he said "we're still in the final stages of diplomacy."

From what I can tell, Dubya's saying absolutely nothing new - this is the same spiel that's been coming out from Ari's office these last couple of weeks (and we all know that's bullshit). Need I point out again that saying that "we will not wait to see what terrorists or terrorist states could do with weapons of mass destruction," could justify intervention anywhere? And hey, since the US has been declared a terrorist state by the International Court of Justice, shall the rest of the world start forcibly disarming America's nuclear arsenal?

But I'm not watching the press conference. Is there anything remotely approaching something more substantial for him to actually make a case for war?

Nope. Same old shit. And using the same four or five lines to answer every question.
He's said "nucular" about 7 or 8 times. Hasn't pronounced it properly once yet. Lots of talk about "disarmorment."
