French Told CIA of Bogus Intelligence
____________________________________________________

The foreign spy service warned the U.S. various times before the war that there was no proof Iraq sought uranium from Niger, ex-officials say.

PARIS — More than a year before President Bush declared in his 2003 State of the Union speech that Iraq had tried to buy nuclear weapons material in Africa, the French spy service began repeatedly warning the CIA in secret communications that there was no evidence to support the allegation.

The previously undisclosed exchanges between the U.S. and the French, described in interviews last week by the retired chief of the French counterintelligence service and a former CIA official, came on separate occasions in 2001 and 2002.

<MORE> and more evidence that Bush lied.

Talk about not accepting reality: In the last month on this thread, I've been told the following fantasies by leftwingers:

You denied communist governments exist or have ever existed.

Another leftwinger claimed they'd never known a leftist who was sympathetic to communism - well maybe one a long long time ago. Immediately after that a couple leftists responded by praising Castro as a good and admirable fellow.

Several other leftwingers told me 911 was a conspiracy of some kind - despite the fact that OBL bragged about his people committing the act.

On another leftwing thread, leftwingers are arguing the Nazi Holocaust never happened.

Another loopy leftwinger on this thread claimed Saddam, despite his police state explicitly modeled on Stalin's, probably didn't know about the numerous terrorists whom the rest of the world knew were taking shelter in his country.

All you have to do is read this thread to realize leftwingers are mentally unhinged.
