Hate to leave Bush out of the blatant lying....

Asked today whether the vote would be canceled, Bush said with obvious irritation: "I was the guy that said they ought to vote. One country voted -- showed their cards, I believe -- it's an old Texas expression -- show your cards, when you're playing poker. France showed their cards. . . . They said they are going to veto anything that held Saddam to account. So cards have been played."

French President Jacques Chirac said this morning that he was willing to shorten to 30 days a deadline of 120 days his government had suggested several weeks ago for continued inspections. But French officials have said their nonnegotiable demand is that they will not support an "automatic" invasion, and they insist the council would have to meet again if Iraq failed "benchmark" tests.
