Suggest you read:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/946730/posts?page=30 what Bush actually said and the CONTEXT.
And here are the points I made there:
Two major points here:
1. Bush attackers say and imply that Bush said that Iraq bought uranium from Niger(i.e. transaction took place), when in fact, Bush said Saddam SOUGHT uranium from Africa:
"The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."
Their "refutation" of Bush's claim, consists of the diplomat asking Nigerian officials if they SOLD Saddam uranium recently. If they did sell him uranium, they wouldn't be stupid enough to admit it, so even if they said no, this is hardly a credible refutation. And even more importantly, Bush's statement that Iraq SOUGHT to buy uranium has NOT been refuted. (UK still stands by their statement), so Bush's statement in the SOTU is FACTUALLY and CONCEPTUALLY WAS CORRECT AT THE TIME HE MADE IT AND IS STILL CORRECT TODAY.
2. The Democrats are hoping everyone has forgotten Bush's SOTU address and nobody will look it up, because they are claiming that we went to war with Iraq based on the one single statement Bush made about Iraq having sought uranium in Africa.
Everyone should read the part of the SOTU I excerpted above, where Bush makes the case for going after Saddam eloquently, where if we take out that one sentence, it wouldn't diminish the case one bit. Also note he cites a LIST of several good reasons for going after Saddam, where the WMD is just one part. (Dems are lying again, when they insist that if we don't find WMD, there was no case against Iraq)
(Dems are lying again, when they insist that if we don't find WMD, there was no case against Iraq)I was listening to Tom Brokaw NBC News tonight. He had David Kay, former UN inspector on. He is the man who we have sent over now to go over the information we have found.
He showed we have found literally thousands upon thousands of documentation that the Iraqs kept in regards to their WMD. David Kay said they even kept records that would make them (Iraq) look bad.
David Kay says he has all the confidence in the world that he will be able to make the case that Saddam was making WMD. He indicated he will have a report early this fall.
On a side note, Tom Brokaw reported that Tarick Aziz (sp) has said that right up to the end Saddam Hussain didn't think we would invade, because of the world opinion. Also he said Saddam was writing 3 epic novels.
