Surely this article is misquoting Dubya? Surely he didn't say:
"...And we gave him a chance to allow inspectors in, and he wouldn’t let them in. And therefore, after a reasonable request, we decided to remove him from power, along with other nations, so as to make sure he was not a threat to the United States and our friends and allies in the region." (My emphasis)
Because, unless I spent the entire pre-bombing of Iraq period in an alternate dimension, he did let inspectors in. The only time they weren't in the country was at that period when Dubya said "we're going to start bombing in a couple of days, I'm so excited!"
