"Indeed, the yellow cake deal became one of the main early foundations for the US justification of an Iraq invasion. "
False statement right in the beginning of the article.
Isn't it awesome how the "facts" the MSM uses change over time? I listened carefully to public comments and speeches Bush made prior to the Iraq war. What he *actually* said bears absolutely no resemblance to the new media mythology. Even Saddam's weapons of mass destruction played only a minor role in the Administration's build-up to the war as I remember. It was Saddam's refusal to allow UN inspections to look for them, and his rejection of the UN resolution requiring inspections, that set things off. The media learned long ago it can create "history" to suit their political needs. We the people have short attention spans.
