Both the Whitehouse and the CIA admit that the claim was not valid.

No, the WH still thinks the British Intelligence is accurate but the CIA has not confirmed to their satisfaction to meet the level it would be included in a presidential speech.

Rice just repeated they do believe Iraq was trying to obtain uranium from Africa, and she said what we've been posting for two days now: Britain vigorously stands by their intelligence, which is what President Bush said: That British intelligence has found that Iraq was seeking to obtain uranium from Africa.

That is accurate in every way.

So what you are saying that what the President said in the State of Union speech MIGHT be accurate. MIGHT seems like an awful low standard for a Presidential address. Especially since our original intel on the subject was determined to be a forgery by the CIA months before the address. That would make me very suspicious of someone else's intel when they would not share the details of with us.
