Here is a fact: "1. The statement as given in the State of the Union speech was true at the time of the speech. As difficult as it has been for the public to understand this, the exact statement from the president: "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa," was in fact true at the time that he gave the speech. Nothing to date has proven or even begun to prove that this statement was not true at the time." This is a fact in that it is a fact that it was written. Nothing else. That this written fact contains nonsense does not change the fact that the quote is a written fact(somebody wrote it). "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa," Replace the above with: "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein's press secretary recently said that US forces were not in Baghdad." Note that this statement is a true fact(The British government had learned that Comical Ali said what he said). The lie made by Comical Ali, was met by amazement as should Bush II's 16 word lie in the State of the Union.
