Is this a reliable source? The troubling thing is that Wilkinson, whoever he is, goes on the record claiming to have been present at briefings where Bush basically say to hell with the evidence, I'm going with my gut.

I hope for Bush's sake and the GOP's sake this guy Wilkinson is not credible. If he is, and if others back him up, then Bush is probably a very deep trouble.

I agree. This could be Bush's Watergate. Seriously. And Capitol Hill Blue is a reputable mag. It's not the Weekly World News.

[Steven W.]

it also appears to be a mis-writing or mis-reading of words. Remember the origin of this was an errant document produced by the British MI6. As I recall Tenet stood behind it, too, to the degree that it was supplied by the Brits and we trusted them, only to later discover it had been manufactured in Niger, apparently by an over-zealous intelligence source who wanted to get paid for something. I suspect this supposed White House participant is likely a Clintonista holdover that should be out on the street looking for a new job in the immediate future.

I do hope this is bogus. Bush is doing the right thing in Iraq.

[OldFriend]

Clearly spinning an anti-Bush agenda. In his state of the union address the President mentioned that Britain had evidence of the Iraqi's trying to buy nuclear material from Nigeria.

Wouldn't want to offend the media by pointing out the FACTS tho.

"He said he knew the story was true and so would the world after American troops secured the country."

Sorry, dude, but that doesn't qualify as a lie. It may be stupid and it may be reckless and pig-headed, but it's not a lie. And anyone who wants to prove "Bush lied" does not want this Wilkinson on the stand.

[1Old Pro]

He didn't "LIE". He made a false statement based on poor intelligence.

[My2Cents]

The president's statement was incorrect because it was based on forged documents from the African nation of Niger,

This is hardly "lying."

[Jim Cane]

Clinton bombed pharmacuetical plants based on Monica's underdesk performace. If Bush lied, well at least he
toppled one of the world's first class jerks in the process, and isn't that what we wanted? A president
with better reasons to bomb other countries than covering up Oval Office
sodomy?

[rockfish59]

Sounds like more straw grabbing by the Dims!

Dimwits!

[metalboy]

Bush lied about Saddam wanting to get uranium or whatever for nukes? I don`t think so. Despite what Ari says, if anyone in their right mind doesn`t think Saddass wasn`t trying to get his mitts on nukes, then they ought to re-examine the history of this psycho. Now where are my donations?

[AppyPappy]

Bush did not lie. He said the British told him the Iraqis were obtaining nukes. That was the truth. They did tell him that.

[Monty22]

Who cares? I mean, honestly.. Is the world better off with or without Hussein in power there? I'd say without.

QED

[CWOJackson]

You must have posted this in memory of a recently departed freeper who just loved this kind of story.

[My2Cents]

Sadly, from their perspective, no one reads "Capitol Hill Blue."

[Psycho_Bunny]

Um....I don't see a "lie" here.

This article is pure spin.

Here's what I don't get: If you sit in on top secret natinal security meetings, are you really allowed to just go out and blab about them to the press?

[dead]

Capitol Hill Blue is fun to read, but so are Marvel Comics.

[mict42]

Bush did not Lie!!! He repeated false information from British Intelligence. That is not lying. Get it straight guys and gals.

[Spidey]

C'mon! Think about it.

The title of this piece is a lie in itself.

Did Thompson provide a quote from the White House saying Bush lied? No, of course not. Why? Because there wasn't one.

CHB is well known for it's leftie leanings.

But in his favor, at least he does provide a name this time, most of his stories cite "unnamed sources" just like the NY Slimes.
