CNN LIVE EVENT/SPECIAL
Republcian Presidential Debate
Aired June 5, 2007 - 19:00 ET
When asked if he thought the invasion of Iraq was a mistake, Romney lied about what happened in the lead up to the war:
MITT ROMNEY, FORMER GOVERNOR OF MASSACHUSETTS: ... if you're saying let's turn back the clock and Saddam Hussein had opening up his country to IAEA
inspectors and they'd come in and they'd found that there were no weapons of mass destruction, had Saddam Hussein therefore not violated United Nations resolutions, we wouldn't be in the conflict we're in. But he didn't do those things, and we knew what we knew at the point we made the decision to get in.
The inspectors WERE back in and they were going to sites that we suggested. As Hans Blix put it,
"among the 700 inspections that we performed, none brought us any evidence of weapons of mass destruction."
Pres. Fredo also lied about the inspectors.
