So as not to forget: President Bush and his national security adviser yesterday placed full responsibility on the Central Intelligence Agency for the inclusion in this year's State of the Union address of questionable allegations that Iraq's Saddam Hussein was trying to buy nuclear materials in Africa. The president defended use of the allegation by saying the Jan. 28 speech "was cleared by the intelligence services." Within hours of Bush's comments, CIA Director George J. Tenet accepted blame for allowing the allegations into the Jan. 28 address, saying the information "did not rise to the level of certainty which should be required for presidential speeches and the CIA should have ensured that it was removed."... It subsequently turned out that the allegation was in part based on forged documents.... ." Tenet did not mention speeches from which it was removed, but other administration sources said yesterday one was Bush's Oct. 7, 2002, speech in Cincinnati in which he outlined the threat that he said Saddam Hussein posed to the United States and world peace..... washingtonpost.com ===== Tenet then, after such SLOPPINESS, gets the medal of freedom from Bush. Tenet is a lowlife thug but not so low a life as Bush and the rightwing spinners out to defame Wilson. So the rightwing spinning is out saying that Wilson is a liar and that everything he has ever said in his entire life is a lie. Egads. It's time for the rest of the world to declare outright political war on rightwing Republicans. They need to be booted back to the hidey holes they came from.
