You claimed I said, <font color=blue>"The fake documents were not the basis of the previous reporting by our allies"<font color=black>Message 20327718 When did I make that verbatim claim? Are you aware that using quotation marks like that signify they are verbatim quotes?

They all have continuously maintained, via other independently obtained evidence, that Saddam did indeed attempt to obtain yellowcake from Africa during the period in question.
