"I understand that it concerned the same group of documents and the same transaction," the diplomat told Reuters on condition on anonymity. Another diplomat said he thought Britain's other evidence came from French intelligence services.

Why did the choose the title they did? I am SOOO_OOOO_OOOO tired of this story. There was no lie. This is a non-issue.

U.N.=Ultimate Nonsense!!!! Nothing but a bunch of Socialists/Communists THUGS doing anything to try to be relevant once again. Until The U.N. Stops trying to shove Socialism/Communism down our throats, I will take them with
a grain of salt!!!!

Let's see about British Intel. We sent a guy down there to check out the story. The Brits say they didn't even know he was there.

Who made the forged documents, and WHY?

[mattdono]

I still don't understand what the problem is. In the State of the Union address, Bush said:

"The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." (emphasis added)

He doesn't assert "our intelligence" uncovered this. He doesn't even mention Niger. The Brits are still standing by their statements. What's the problem?

There is NONE...of course, that is what the demoMORONs are left with: petty accussations about something of NO substance. The only substance is that of which the media is allowing their co-conspirators on the left to prevail with.

[huck von finn]

Don't know!

[huck von finn]

The whole British intel business is starting to look like a circus now!

[huck von finn]

He doesn't assert "our intelligence" uncovered this. He doesn't even mention Niger. The Brits are still standing by their statements. What's the problem?

The Brits said they have "other information" to back the Iraq/uranium claim. It now turns out that ALL of it might be based on forged documents.

[huck von finn]

Something's wrong here because none of this makes any sense at all.

[ravingnutter]

It now turns out that ALL of it might be based on forged documents.

No it does not...Blair stated recently that the information WAS NOT from the forged documents and he stood by the intel. The UN is trying to stir up crap because Bush is snubbing them.

[ex-snook]

"Something's wrong here because none of this makes any sense at all."

Just one of the many things that doesn't make sense is why should we should be going to war based on the Brit's intel anyway.

It's becomming more obvious that WMD, present or absent, had zilch to do with our war entry. Bad guys and WMD are all over the world. And we ain't about to start up the draft.

[huck von finn]

And we ain't about to start up the draft

Lord I hope not. But at the rate we're going...

The United Nations nuclear watchdog believes Britain's evidence on Iraq trying to import uranium from Africa is all based on forged documents, a diplomat close to the agency said on Monday.

This is ARF ARF ARF FUL!!!!!

SMOKING GUN? LOOKS LIKE A FRENCH ACTIVE MEASURE DESIGNED TO EMBARASS THE US IN THE UN DEBATE LEADING TO THE WAR.

Obvious Fakes FRENCH say,,[03/25/03]


Once the IAEA got the documents -- which took months -- French nuclear scientist Jacques Bautes, head of the U.N. Iraq Nuclear Verification office, quickly saw they were fakes. http://www.lossless-audio.com/usa/indexD.php?page=247226020.htm

Louis Charbonneau, This guys name sounded french so I googled it."The French Connection" was a good movie.But this S--KS!

[Political Junkie Too]

The patterns are emerging: documentary evidence is forged, actual evidence is planted.
