"As far as I know there was never any yellow cake moved from Niger to Iraq. You got proof that it was?"<font color=black>
LOL! You're a hoot! When the facts prove you once again to
be a liar, you ignore them & ask everyday folks to "prove"
things like secret, clandestine operations by a rouge
dictator. Meanwhile, in the SOTUA in question, Bush said,
<font color=red>''The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein
recently <font size=4>sought significant quantities <font size=3>of uranium from
Africa."<font color=black>
I'll make note of your unoriginal, fully expected,
pathetic obfuscation.
Well, in any event, read it & weep blubber man.......
<font size=4>.....Wilson's assertions -- both about what he found in Niger and what the Bush administration did with the information -- were undermined yesterday in a bipartisan Senate intelligence committee report.
The panel found that Wilson's report, rather than debunking intelligence about purported uranium sales to Iraq, as he has said, bolstered the case for most intelligence analysts. And contrary to Wilson's assertions and even the government's previous statements, the CIA did not tell the White House it had qualms about the reliability of the Africa intelligence that made its way into 16 fateful words in President Bush's January 2003 State of the Union address......<font size=3>

....Ambassador Wilson said relax, he'd been to Niger, spent <font color=blue>"eight days drinking sweet mint tea and meeting with dozens of people,'' and there's nothing going on<font color=black>.....
....Lord Butler .... says that the statements about Iraq and Niger are justified and supported by the intelligence. In other words, the British Government did learn that Saddam Hussein did seek significant quantities of uranium from Africa..... The fact is almost every European intelligence service reckoned Saddam was trying to buy uranium in Africa.....<font size=3>

<font size=4>WILSON IS A LIAR:
....The report also said Wilson provided misleading information to The Washington Post last June. He said then that he concluded the Niger intelligence was based on documents that had clearly been forged because <font color=blue>"the dates were wrong and the names were wrong."
<font color=green>
"Committee staff asked how the former ambassador could have come to the conclusion that the 'dates were wrong and the names were wrong' when he had never seen the CIA reports and had no knowledge of what names and dates were in the reports," the Senate panel said. Wilson told the panel he may have been confused and may have <font color=blue>"misspoken"<font color=green> to reporters. The documents -- purported sales agreements between Niger and Iraq -- were not in U.S. hands until eight months after Wilson made his trip to Niger.<font color=black> On the face of it, Wilson is a complete, partisan fraud. <font size=3>

<font size=4>Evidence Iraq Had Deal To Buy Uranium From Congo: Butler Report<font size=3>
Message 20309003
<font size=4>....In fact, the intelligence community agreed that <font color=purple>''Iraq was attempting to procure uranium from Africa.''
''While there was no dispute with the underlying facts,''<font color=black> Chairman Roberts wrote separately, <font color=purple>''my Democrat colleagues refused to allow''<font color=black> two conclusions in the report. The first conclusion merely said that Wilson was sent to Niger at his wife's suggestion. The second conclusion is devastating: <font color=purple>''Rather than speaking publicly about his actual experiences during his inquiry of the Niger issue, the former ambassador seems to have included information he learned from press accounts and from his beliefs about how the Intelligence Community would have or should have handled the information he provided.''<font color=black>
The normally mild Roberts is harsh in his condemnation: <font color=purple>''Time and again, Joe Wilson told anyone who would listen that the president had lied to the American people, that the vice president had lied, and that he had 'debunked' the claim that Iraq was seeking uranium from Africa. . . . [N]ot only did he NOT 'debunk' the claim, he actually gave some intelligence analysts even more reason to believe that it may be true.''<font color=black> Roberts called it <font color=purple>''important''<font color=black> for the committee to declare much of what Wilson said <font color=purple>''had no basis in fact.'' <font color=black>
In response, Democrats were silent. <font size=3>

<font size=4>The Yellowcake Con
....The report concludes that Saddam probably intended to
pursue his banned programs, including the nuclear one, if
and when U.N. sanctions were lifted; that research,
development and procurement continued so WMD capabilities
could be sustained; and that he was pursuing the
development of WMD delivery systems--missiles--of longer
range than the U.N. permitted.....
....the Butler report vindicates President Bush .... <font color=green>"We conclude also that the statement in President Bush's State of the Union Address of 28 January 2003 that 'The British Government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa' was well-founded." <font color=black>
All of this matters because Mr. Wilson's disinformation
became the vanguard of a year-long assault on Mr. Bush's
credibility. The political goal was to portray the
President as a <font color=blue>"liar,"<font color=black> regardless of the facts. Now that
we know those facts, Americans can decide who the real
liars are.<font size=3>
