Another story not quite right....

I'm sure you will see the leftwing blogs slobbering all over this today.

"In Elusive Peace: Israel and the Arabs, a major three-part series on BBC TWO (at 9.00pm on Monday 10, Monday 17 and Monday 24 October), Abu Mazen, Palestinian Prime Minister, and Nabil Shaath, his Foreign Minister, describe their first meeting with President Bush in June 2003.

Nabil Shaath says: "President Bush said to all of us: 'I'm driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, "George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan." And I did, and then God would tell me, "George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq Â…" And I did. And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, "Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East." And by God I'm gonna do it.'"

And if I hadn't been watching Brit Hulme tonight, it might have seemed curious to me for a moment. But the news reported that all those interviewed in the room, even those who took notes, said that Bush never said anything like that.

Guess this reporter didn't get that report, huh? Nothing like ignoring a little truth to get in the way of a good story.
