Here's the funny story of all time. An italian reporter intercepted a fake letter from Sudan attempting to sell Uranium to Iraq. She reported it to to U.S. embassy to the U.S. military about the uranium trade. U.S. took the bait. Suddenly President Bush used that uranium trade in his 2003 State of the Union speech the next day. European Intelligence Agency was too late to warn Bush that the letter was a fake. Bush had to stay the course no matter what. Even if there is no WMD or uraniums. Just stay the course...blindly. There's a book out "The Italian Letter" very interesting to see how Bush Administration and CIA screwed up badly. It caused domino effect through out the government that you won't believe. Interesting read. That letter is a FAKE! U.S. based it on to attack IRAQ is unbelievable. Even more unbelievable is that Bush is not even impeached for his rash actions. I guess Americans doesn't take this seriously as they did with Nixon or Clinton. Thousands of U.S. soldiers is dying every day and you all are sitting on your butts yapping on the internet not doing anything about it. Maybe you are waiting for 2008 president changeover hoping a new president would do something for you to bring troops home. Let's wait one more year. 365 more days and a few hundreds or thousands of U.S. soldiers will die needlessly over a fake letter. Go figures! It must be the "American way" I keep hearing in Canada. We wonder if President Bush should shoulder the brunt of the responsibly for the screw up or the American people for doing nothing to remove Bush from power. Canada had opportunities to remove PM from office recently. Our democracy is working. It seems not working in the U.S. American people are probably feeling "stuck" with their U.S. president in the office. 70% are dissatisfied with President Bush's performance as president. Well what are you waiting for ? U.S. soldiers depends on you to bring them home and to end the silly war. Bush is thinking of bombing Iran... are you getting the hint ? Get moving before it gets out of hand. There was no such uranium in Iraq. Here’s the funny story of all time.
