Bush never read doubts over uranium claim. Maybe he couldn't understand the words. |
From MSNBC, 7/19/03:
http://www.msnbc.com/news/937524.asp
White House releases Iraq document
Bush reportedly never read section on doubts over uranium assertion
While the report establishes that the CIA feared that Saddam Hussein
was trying to build nuclear weapons, it also reveals plenty of doubt.
NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports.
NBC, MSNBC AND NEWS SERVICES
WASHINGTON --
Responding to allegations that it falsified some of its case for war
with Iraq, the Bush administration on Friday released parts of an
intelligence assessment from October that cited "compelling evidence"
that Iraq was trying to reconstitute its nuclear weapons program.
The document included a notation from the State Department calling an
assertion at the center of the controversy "highly dubious," but a
White House official said Bush never read that section of the report,
according to the Washington Post.

rebuild an arsenal of devastating destruction.
And some day, some way, I guarantee you, he'll use the arsenal."

Do my old eyes deceive me, or, is "Charles Farley," noted
rightwingloon and Bush mouthpiece, QUOTING BILL CLINTON TO SUPPORT
BUSH?
You people are truly sick and sad, trying to drag Clinton down to the
level of GWBush and his illegal, lying cabal.
Clinton recognized the limited threat from Saddam Hussein and he
responded in a limited way by attacking specific targets, not by
starting a general war and committing the US to a decade-long,
multi-hundred-billion-dollar occupation.
What's next? A move to draft Clinton to run as a Republican?

it matters little whether he read it or not. If a commander-in-chief
doesn't know that a detail such as that one is highly charged and
potent and doesnt assure hirself that the data is accurate, then that
commander is patently incompetent. on this, the buck definately stops
there, that is the only way the system can work.
of course he knew full well it was bull, just like the entire case for
the war. this is not an isolated incident, this fits with the pattern
of contempt of the process they've built. it's been a power grab from
day one, a shopping spree. they dont care how history will regard
them, as long as they dont have to do hard time, they're fine with
whatever anyone wants to think about them.

Yep. Read an analysis the other day that points out that Cheney and the
other neocons are now in a win-win position. Even if they're not elected
again, they've set things up so that the ONLY plausible scenario is to
maintain a US presence in Iraq indefinitely. Even if the UN is eventually
given a much greater role, the neocons will see a "democratic Iraq" as a
victory -which it would be if it happens in our lifetimes.

New definition of irony:
'Today's liberal Democrats are like the supporters of the Third Reich of the
'30's and '40's
- they absolutely trusted the government to "make things right". '

Any UN resolution would have to be approved by the USA, so that wouldn't
happen.
Then there isn't going to be one and the US is condemned to Iraq forever.
