Wilson concluded on his trip that Iraq did not purchase any uranium from Niger. But he also concluded that Iraq had approached Nigerian officials about “expanding commercial relations.” Since 3/4 of Niger’s exports are uranium, this was viewed by the CIA as an attempt to buy uranium, and supports British intelligence at the time, referred to in Bush’s infamous 2003 State of the Union Address.

“The British government has learned that Iraq recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.”

This is exactly what Wilson discovered too, although he apparently didn’t realize it at the time. He assumed the whole thing was a closed deal, but it wasn’t. The fact that Iraq did not get any uranium isn’t the issue. I think it’s reasonable to assume that they tried.

What’s interesting for me is that the White House later retracted those “16 words,” but to my knowledge they have not retracted the assertions on centrifuge tubes that weren’t fit for uranium enrichment, unmanned arial vehicles that had 0.0005% of the capability that we were told they had, mobile weapons laboratories that weren’t really weapons laboratories, and the biggest freaking lie of all: “we do not torture.”

Cracker Mo.Fo.

He sends poor kids off to be killed and his cracker ass daughters live the life of a princess.

I was soooo wrong, and such an idiot for supporting a murdering administration.

I want to extend a personal apology to all on this blog.

I want to say those of you that thought I was

mighty aphroditie, Northeast Delima, Turk, Joe Sixpack and Jeff Gannon were

totally correct.

I am only one person, and I have tried to show that there are more than one person that support the
Bush administration.

I am paid by the administration, and i feel totally dirty and guilty.

THEY MUST GO!

It is no seceret. Prescott bush actually managed slave labor and personally profited from it. Prescott helped move NAZI WAR criminals to America.

The blind trust established for the bush family was started with plundered Jewish wealth.

When bushs assets were frozen in October 1942, they moved back to America, and got their son
HW bush a cushy spot in the military to sanitize the family name.

HW bush quickly rose in the CIA ranks as a covert officer. His role was to recruit and train assigns. He is closely linked to the Bay of Pigs.

the bush family is corrupt, evil and will be destroyed.

whoever you are calling yourself at the moment.

get a clue and go away.

The invasion of Iraq was planned many years ago, before Bush was president. Maybe we should impeach Clinton again. :()

You ARE a moron!

You post nothing, nothing but lies. You aren’t interested in researching anything. You are a closed minded little slob.

Your very existance shows that humans (at least a few)evolved from apes.

None of the facts I’ve presented have been refuted.

we already knew he/she/it was stoooopid, but that is so cool to show it again.

Once again Ryan (I’ve said it a million times) you are 100% right.

32 Bush Lies And Policy Failures
By Andy Ostroy
President Bush’s campaign mantra in the 2000 election was that he and the Republican Party would “restore honor and integrity to the White House.” Five and one half years later, it’s utterly mind-boggling the amount of lies, controversies and scandals that have been perpetrated by Bush and his closest aides. It’s even more unsettling when we realize the dire straits America is in today at the hands of this incompetent, dangerous administration.

Let’s review Bush’s impact since 2000 at home and abroad, in no particular order:

1. Lied about WMD.
2. Unilaterally invaded a sovereign nation without provocation and justification.
3. Lied during State of the Union speech re: Niger Uranium.
4. Responsible for pre-9/11 intelligence failures in White House, CIA, FBI.
5. Allowed 9-11 murderers to remain free while diverting precious military and financial resources to his vanity war in Iraq.
6. Lied about Saddam/bin Laden connection.
7. Turned Iraq into a terrorist breeding ground.
8. Lied about nation-building.
9. Opposed creation of 9-11 Commission and Homeland Security Department.
10. Disrespected and alienated the U.S. from French, German and other key allies.
11. Lied to Americans about the real cost of war.
12. Fostered an environment of torture at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo.
13. Lined Halliburton’s pockets in Afghanistan and Iraq with fat no-bid contracts.
14. Under-manned and under-equipped our armed forces in Iraq, resulting in unnecessary death and injuries.
15. Ignored the nuclear build-up in both Iran and N.Korea; marginalized Kim Jong Il.
16. Shunned Kyoto Treaty.
17. Lied about effects of man-made pollutants on the environment to support corporate pals.
18. Lied about the insolvency of Social Security.
19. Gave huge cuts to the wealthiest taxpayers.
20. Lied about true cost of health care bill.
21. Lied about Free Trade stand.
22. Bitterly divided the nation along religious, party and sexual preference lines.
23. Guilty of numerous cronyism appointments (Homeland Security, Supreme Court, etc)
24. Rewarded failures of Condi Rice and other cronies with key promotions.
25. Dreadful energy policies lead to record gas and oil prices.
26. Responsible for the largest debt in U.S. history.
27. Colossal failure of preparedness, rescue and relief during Hurricane Katrina.
28. Fostered a culture of corruption among GOP and top leadership (Tom Delay, etc).
29. Allowed Donald Rumsfeld to keep job despite utter failure in Iraq.
30. Presided over the U.S.’s lowest popularity throughout the world.
31. Saw No Child Left Behind fail.
32. Lied last week about Iraqi troop strength during Saturday radio address. Directly contradicted by testimony given earlier in the week by Gen. Abizaid.

This is just a partial list, mind you. One can only imagine what our country will look like by the time he’s done. Somebody please wake me up in 3 years. –posted September 8, 2005

Osama actually will fight in a battle. wally-the-liar is a smarmy little chickenhawk coward that runs from the truth as dracula would sunlight.

Perhaps, but you said that to you chimps and humans all look the same. :()

Calling me a bunch of silly uvenile names again won’t change the facts I’ve presented.

The British stand by that assessment today. In any case, being the recipient of incorrect intel does not make one a liar. Given that all intel is imperfect, the prudent course was not to give your friend Saddam Hussein the benefit of the doubt.

“Wilson had discovered that the claims were bogus and documents used to support the claims had been forgeries.”

Wilson went to Niger in February 2002. The forged documents were received in October 2002. The documents had nothing to do with Wilson or his trip to Niger. Wilson never saw the documents. Thank you for providing this proof that Wilson lied.

In February 2002 the former prime minister of Niger, Ibrahim Mayaki, told Wilson, “An Iraqi delegation had visited Niger in 1999 to explore “expanding commercial relations” between Iraq and Niger. Mayaki had met with the Iraqis and later concluded that their request for enhanced trade meant they wanted to discuss purchasing uranium.”

In his January 2003 State Of The Union, President Bush made his case for war in Iraq. He included this now-infamous 16-word deception about Iraq’s nuclear capability: “The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.”2
But the White House had known for nearly a year that this claim was false. In February 2002, the CIA sent former Ambassador Joseph Wilson to Niger to investigate the unsubstantiated claim that Saddam Hussein tried to buy uranium from Niger for use in nuclear weapons.3
Wilson had discovered that the claims were bogus and documents used to support the claims had been forgeries. He reported this to the CIA, and the CIA told the White House.3
Why Did The President Ignore Wilson’s Findings And Lie? It’s About Iraq

Why did President Bush use the discredited nuclear claims in his January 2003 State of the Union Address to make the case that Iraq was a nuclear threat? They wanted to invade Iraq.
A CBS News polling report in late 2002 made clear, “there is no consensus on adopting a pre-emptive strike policy in general—except where a nuclear attack against the United States is contemplated…”4
Only well after the war had begun would the Washington Post report on “a pattern in which President Bush, Vice President Cheney and their subordinates…made allegations depicting Iraq’s nuclear weapons program as more active, more certain and more imminent in its threat than the data they had would support. On occasion administration advocates withheld evidence that did not conform to their views.”5
Wilson Strikes Back—Exposes Bush’s Lie In Lead-Up To War

Six months after the President’s 2003 State of the Union Address, as Bush’s WMD and nuclear claims began to unravel, Wilson went public and exposed the Bush Administration’s false nuclear claims in a New York Times op-ed.6
The full July 6, 2003 op-ed, “What I Didn’t Find In Africa,” can be read here: http://www.moveon.org/r?r=1070
The White House saw Wilson as a major threat. According to the Los Angeles Times, “Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff was so angry about the public statements of former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, a Bush administration critic married to an undercover CIA officer, that he monitored all of Wilson’s television appearances and urged the White House to mount an aggressive public campaign against him, former aides say.”7
White House Retaliates—Outs Valerie Plame Wilson As CIA Agent

The week after Wilson’s op-ed in the New York Times, “two senior administration officials” were cited by conservative columnist Robert Novak in his column outing CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson.8
The White House Iraq Group (WHIG), originally formed to sell the war to the public, “morphed into a virtual hit squad that took aim at critics who questioned its claims.”9 WHIG was run out of Vice President Cheney’s office, and included Cheney’s Chief of Staff “Scooter” Libby, top Bush strategist Karl Rove, and other top Bush administration officials.
Not only did this leak end Valerie Plame Wilson’s 20-year career as a CIA covert agent, but it also exposed a longstanding CIA front company, Brewster Jennings & Associates, where Plame worked and put at risk many of the undercover agents who had worked with Wilson in the past.10
Today’s Indictment—White House Official Obstructed Investigation Into The Lie

Today’s indictment says Libby illegally obstructed the investigation into the White House outing of an undercover CIA agent, Valerie Plame Wilson. He also was charged with perjury and making false statements to FBI agents. The ongoing investigation of Karl Rove revolves around the same issues, among possible others.
Former President George H. W. Bush was right in 1999 when he said, “I have nothing but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust by exposing the name of our sources. They are, in my view, the most insidious, of traitors.”11
Former Republican National Committee Chair Ed Gillespie was right when he said, “I think if the allegation is true, to reveal the identity of an undercover CIA operative—it’s abhorrent, and it should be a crime, and it is a crime.”12
The American people must know this important truth: Today’s indictment is about a cover-up of the lies that led our nation to war in Iraq.

Dumbya says he is the president when in fact he is only the resident. That is a lie.

Dumbya says he is off the sauce when he isn’t. That is a lie.

Dumbya says he served in the military, when he didn’t, he was AWOL. That is a lie.

Dumbya says no one in the Wh leaked the info. That is a lie.

I could go on for days, but I have a life.

You lie too, you have been caught.

Dumbya is a lying sob.

no matter what handle they choose for the moment.
