This Day in 2002

January 29, 2002

President Bush delivers his "Axis of Evil" State of the Union. Speech writer David Frum later says the phrase was the fruit of being asked: "Can you sum up in a sentence of two our best case for going after Iraq?"

This fact became revealed to the public in January 2003.

BTW, I added you to my links, too.
