Confused re: Bush edit
Hi, just wanted to say that I'm not sure this edit makes the article clearer. I don't understand what is meant by "the opposing contextual events which preceded it". I don't see what those contextual events are described in the article, and that is confusing to me as a reader.

the "and re-asserted" edit makes sense.

The existence of this debate, however, does not negate the opposing contextual events which preceded it; Bush denied this aspect of the Downing Street memo and re-asserted that he had not yet made up his mind to go to war at the time in question.

Would you mind making the first part of this statement a little clearer in terms of the preceding opposing contextual events? I really have no idea what that means. Help? Thanks!
