“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.

Salon’s Joe Consanon wonders why this astonishing statement was hardly reported by the American media. Me too, Joe.
