WASHINGTON,
D.C. – U.S. Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) issued today’s “Bush Administration’s
Misstatement of the Day” on UN Weapons Inspectors in Iraq.
On
January 27, 2004, President Bush said, “"Iraq did not let [inspectors]
in."
However,
according to the U.S.
State Department, U.N. weapons inspectors entered Iraq on November
27th, 2002.
CBS
News reported on March 18, 2003 that “U.N. weapons inspectors climbed
aboard a plane and pulled out of Iraq on Tuesday after President Bush issued
a final ultimatum for Saddam Hussein to step down or face war.”
Finally,
the
Sydney Morning Herald reported on April 4, 2003 “The United States
will not permit United Nations weapons inspectors to return to Iraq, saying
the US military has taken over the role of searching for Saddam's weapons
of mass destruction.” |
