Truth or dare: Niger uranium case no fiction

Those who flung accusations of "liar" at President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair last summer over the causes of the war with Iraq surely owe the two men an apology. It is, of course, pretty hard to imagine the word "sorry" would ever cross their lips, but if we live in a world where right and wrong mean something, the accusers should eat their words. Tomorrow, the long-awaited report of the September 11 commission will see the light of day. It follows on the heels of the Senate intelligence report and the so-called Butler report published in London, both of which were mandated to look into intelligence failures before September 11 and in the run-up to the war in Iraq.

Thanks for posting articles from the Washington Times, a really valuable newspaper.

    Today, people like propagandist Michael Moore continue to perpetuate the idea that the case for the Iraq invasion was invented whole cloth in the Bush White House. The elite media are hell-bent on showing Iraq to be a failure, focusing only on the negative and not the efforts to rebuild the country with an Iraqi democratic government in charge.   

   It is deeply regrettable that, in an election year, the issue of Saddam's weapons of mass destruction and what happened to them has become dominated by partisan politics, when we should be talking about national security.
