"He said that Britain had "learned" about the Niger
uranium. Since that transfer never occurred, and Bush knew
it never occurred, he also knew that Britain could not
have "learned" a non-existent event."


Ah, the never ending circle of lies & deceit. And the above
quote from TP? Well, there's a bunch of lies strung
together. Typical of you TP.

Bush said, "The British government has learned that Saddam
Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium
from Africa.". British intelligence continues to stand by
this assessment. You have falsely put words in Bush's mouth
& then added more lies to make him look worse.

Typical repugnant left wing ploy.

Last October the NIE declared, quote,"....If left
unchecked, it probably will have a nuclear weapon during
this decade," end quote. The NIE cautioned that,
quote, "Since inspections ended in 1998, Iraq has
maintained its chemical weapons effort, energized its
missile program and invested more heavily in biological
weapons. In the view of most agencies, Baghdad is
reconstituting its nuclear weapons program," end quote.

The National Intelligence Estimate contains a section that
specifies the level of confidence that the intelligence
community has in the various judgments included in the
report. In the NIE on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction,
the community had high confidence in the conclusion that
Iraq is continuing and in some areas expanding its
chemical, biological, nuclear and missile programs contrary
to U.N. resolutions.
<font size=5>
The NIE has not issued a correction or a retraction on
Iraq's nuclear weapons program.<font size=4>

A Niger government interview revealed support for the
British Intelligence position. I have yet to see this fact
be covered with any depth of seriousness by the mainstream
press in America. But it didn't escape the eye of the
nation's number one national-security reporter – Bill
Gertz. In the interview with Niger officials, and as
reported by Gertz in the Washington Times, Wilson was told
that though the government would not be selling uranium to
Iraq, they were "aware" however "that prominent Iraqi
businessmen were in their country attempting to finalize a
number of commercial transactions which could include the
purchase of uranium ore." PING! Let's hear it for Andrea
Mitchell's biased telling of the Wilson story on "Meet the
Press." <font size=3>

Exactly and John Dean concurs in his excellent article. The reasons behind Bush's war are based upon a false, phony, exaggerated and fabricated "hoax".

Everything in it regarding Niger is a whole lotta hooey, IMO.
