The issue of who provided what has been kicked back and forth over the past month. One minute its the CIA; the next its Brit. Intel. No one on either side of the Atlantic is providing a clear picture.

That may be, but the point is still moot. In the speach Bush said British intelligence said it, so what the CIA knew and when is immaterial.

That aside, it's preferable to have stuff like that sourced from the CIA, but the Dems trying to trump this up as him lying or misrepresenting are reaching (very far).

One final note.......they should not let Bush speak on the subject........he just makes things more confused and he acts and sounds very guilty.

What makes it more damning is the fact that they have not found any WMDs...that makes the whole case seem bogus and the war avoidable. In other words, it is clear now that those of us who advocated containment through the UN (remember the UN?) were absolutely correct in our position.

Bush speech clearly and distinctly says the info came from the British.

It seems the CIA provided similar info and then back off saying it was unreliable. The Brits didn't back off, and still haven't.
