US President George W. Bush defiantly defended
the war in Iraq today, saying the invasion was "the right decision" and
holding out hope that weapons of mass destruction might yet be found.
"Knowing what I know today, we still would have gone on into Iraq. We
still would have gone to make our country more secure," he said. He
maintained the now-deposed Iraqi President, Saddam Hussein, had posed a
threat to global security at the time of the invasion. "He had the
capability of making weapons. He had terrorist ties." Mr Bush alleged
that Saddam possessed arsenals of chemical and biological weapons
before the war, but US-led forces have not found such stockpiles. [more] Picture via Topplebush.com.
