What about the "yellow cake" stuff and the "aluminum tube" stuff?

ahhhhh...you libbers love that yellowcake...since Wilson was exposed as a liar, how can we trust him for anything?

...as an investigator on assignment for the CIA he was not required to keep his mission and its conclusions confidential. And for the New York Times, he was happy to put pen to paper, to write an op-ed charging the Bush administration with "twisting," "manipulating" and "exaggerating" intelligence about Saddam Hussein's weapons programs "to justify an invasion."

In particular he said that President Bush was lying when, in his 2003 State of the Union address, he pronounced these words: "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."

We now know for certain that Wilson was wrong and that Bush's statement was entirely accurate

The British have consistently stood by that conclusion. In September 2003, an independent British parliamentary committee looked into the matter and determined that the claim made by British intelligence was "reasonable" (the media forgot to cover that one too). Indeed, Britain's spies stand by their claim to this day. Interestingly, French intelligence also reported an Iraqi attempt to procure uranium from Niger.

but maybe you should listen to your own heroes:

"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
- Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998

We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction."
- Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

He DIDN'T lie to Congress??


He did not lie to congress. He told congress what the best information he had from a bunch of incompetents hired by a lazy democratic president who mostly thought with his penis and seldom gave a rat's ass for the security of the country. After all the Clinton administration allowed the terrorists to train in this country for 9/11 and did nothing about it.

George Bush's lack of reliable information is because of the dreadful administration that preceded him. Democratic Politics, Democratic Cowardice and Democratic Incompetence caused the war, and will bring about the defeat and Muslimization of the world. And it all started with a tramp who should have been neutered, not elected.
