Weapons Inspector Haunts Bush in British Satire -

"But as the pretext for the war crumbled to ashes and it became obvious that no WMDs would be found, the idea slowly started to take shape in my head."


The play, which takes its title from the classic stage thriller "An Inspector Calls" by British playwright J.B. Priestley, depicts Bush as a tongue-tied fool who refuses to believe there are no banned weapons in Iraq.


"We know they're there because Donald's got the invoices," he tells the inspector, to the despair of his shrewd, irascible Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.






I would love to go to London just to see this play. It sound hilarious.
