Note the next paragraphs after the excerpt you posted:
Because this report, in our view, did not resolve whether Iraq was or was not seeking uranium from abroad, it was given a normal and wide distribution, but we did not brief it to the President, Vice-President or other senior Administration officials. We also had to consider that the former Nigerien officials knew that what they were saying would reach the U.S. government and that this might have influenced what they said.
In the fall of 2002, my Deputy and I briefed hundreds of members of Congress on Iraq. We did not brief the uranium acquisition story.

Notice number one that the President, VP and WH were NOT briefed about Wilson's sojourn.
Number two: Note Congress was not briefed, either. So when you hear about how they voted in the fall based on faulty intelligence and they insinuate this uranium story was part of it, they are LYING. (The dems, of course)
