This time it's 17 words:

From Bush's comments yesterday:

And we gave him a chance to allow the inspectors in, and he wouldn't let them in. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

Actually, the first word ("and") is only there to connect with a previous sentence, so the core of Bush's most recent statement is 16 words. Just like the infamous 16 words in the SOTU.

Bravo, Bush!
