Obvious Flaws Forged Documents Detailing Uranium Sale Were Full of Errors

By Brian Ross



July 16— The forged documents detailing the supposed sale of uranium from Niger to Iraq were published today in a Rome newspaper — obvious flaws and all.

Following the Paper Trail

For more than a week, the Bush administration has been trying to explain how it came to pass that the president, in his State of the Union speech, erroneously claimed that Saddam Hussein was trying to get uranium in Africa.

The president said Monday the main thrust of his case for the Iraq war is, and was, accurate. "The speeches I have given were backed by good intelligence," he said. "And I am absolutely convinced today, like I was convinced when I gave the speeches, that Saddam Hussein developed a program of weapons of mass destruction."

Bush's claim that Saddam was seeking uranium from Africa was just one part

Doesn't the WH and Intelligence "have an obligation" to review authenticity in war policy decisions?

Clearly a case of "it's ok for us to push an agenda which killed over 1000 men & women".

Last time I checked CBS error's killed nobody!

3. Joseph Wilson was full of shit.

All he wanted to do was hype his book. Remember Darth Cheney said so himself! If you read Wilson's book, you'll agree that if Iraq tried to get yellowcake from Niger, Wilson would have known.
