In a nationally televised press conference, George W. Bush repeated some of his favorite lies about the Iraq War, including the canard that he was forced to invade because Saddam Hussein blocked the work of United Nations weapons inspectors in 2003.
Bush has uttered this lie in a variety of forms over more than 2 ½ years, yet the Washington press corps has never challenged the President directly about the falsehood. He got away with it again on March 21 when no journalist followed up the question from Helen Thomas that elicited Bush’s response.
Some TV commentary about the Thomas-Bush exchange even suggested that Bush had scored points with the American public for calling on – and then slapping down – the senior White House correspondent who is known for her irreverent and acerbic questions. But Bush’s truthfulness wasn’t questioned.

And please explain to me how the "liberal media" either
a) did not catch this tidbit from Bush's press conference or
b) chose to outright ignore it:
"And the world said, "Disarm, disclose or face serious consequences."
And therefore, we worked with the world. We worked to make sure that Saddam Hussein heard the message of the world.
And when he chose to deny the inspectors, when he chose not to disclose, then I had the difficult decision to make to remove him. And we did. And the world is safer for it."

Bush is outright lying when he claims his 48 hour warning of impending "Shock and Awe" was aimed at anyone besides the UN inspectors, who were both
a) DOING EXACTLY WHAT HE SAYS WASN'T BEING PERMITTED or
b) rushing to get the f_ck out of Dodge.
And no one will even mention it.
