So what?Raddatz called the President on his lie when he attempted to use al Qaeda's presence in the country as justification for the 2003 invasion.
Ya know...January 20th can't get here soon enough! In fact, my brain keeps envisioning scenarios that remove him from office prior to that date. My favorite:
It's the morning of January 20, 2009...about 5am...when the phone in the White House residence rings.Ok, ok...a guy can dream, though..can't he!?
It's U.S. Attorney Peter Fitzgerald. "Mr. President, this is a courtesy call. Officials from the War Crimes Tribunal are downstairs at your front door waiting to take you into custody on charges of war crimes. We'd like to keep the press at bay and would rather not disturb your family. Kindly get dressed and proceed downstairs."
Little Boy George rubs his eyes, sits up, and mumbles, "Heh! What is this? Some sort of joke? You can't arrest me, I'm the prezdint."
Fitzgerald assures the President that it's no joke. Secret Service enters his bedroom and hands him his pants.
Five minutes later, the President is being escorted to an unmarked federal police vehicle and whisked off to an undisclosed airport.
Meanwhile, in other parts of D.C., Vice-President Dick Cheney, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, and former White House adviser Karl Rove, are being arrested by Fitzgerald's team. They eventually join Mr. Bush at the airport.
As they are all loaded onto a plane for the 6am journey to the Hague, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi arrives at the White House and takes the oath of office as the nation's 44th President.
She issues a brief statement, and then prepares for the arrival of Barack Obama. She briefs the President-elect on what transpired earlier in the morning, Mr. Obama walks to the residence and visits with Laura Bush and her daughters, and then proceeds with President Pelosi to the nation's capitol. At noon, ET, seven hours following the arrest of former president George W. Bush, six hours after the swearing in of President Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama is sworn in as the nation's 45th President.
