2002 Bush is enraged that UN weapons inspectors are not finding any hidden weapons. [View all]

At Daily Kos on this date in 2002—The Bush administration is out of control:

Bush is enraged that—get this—UN weapons inspectors are not finding any hidden weapons.

The lack of a confrontation thus far between Iraq and inspectors has the White House worried that the Iraqi president might be winning the early public relations battle by creating an impression that he is complying. Aides said those fears prompted the president and Vice President Dick Cheney (news-web sites) to deliver separate speeches Monday casting doubt on Saddam's intentions.
