Yep. Moreover, the SOTU statment on yellowcake referred to three countries in Africa, not just Niger, where SH tried to obtain yellowcake. The BDS types find these myths hard to let go....

According to the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report, Wilson's report to the CIA supported the suspicion that Saddam was seeking enriched uranium from Niger because, according to Wilson, the former prime minister of Niger told him that in 1999 Saddam had sent a delegation to discuss "expanding commercial relations" with Niger, meaning he wanted yellowcake since it's the only product Niger exports. The CIA had good reason to believe this whole issue about yellow cake uranium was a farce. Hence, they told Bush in October of 2002 not to include it in his speech in Cincinnati. Bush dropped the issue. Then in his 2003 State of the Union, he again included the statement. Again, the CIA told him they thought it was BS. This time though Bush did not drop the statement. Why? He wanted to go to war in Iraq. In the America where I grew up that's called playing with the truth.
