The line in the SOU speech was perfectly accurate. "The British have determined...." Turned out the British maybe were wrong or a bit hasty, but that is an issue of credibility for the British, not for us.

How could the President's SOU speech be the basis for going to war with Iraq when the vote by Congress to authorize the action against Iraq took place about three months before the SOU speech?

How does Bush quoting a possibly discredited British claim compare with Clinton wagging his finger at the American Public and telling us "I did not have sex with that women Ms. Lewinski, not one time"? Or his purjury before a Grand Jury? Some of the Senators taking Bush to task voted to aquit Clinton. They have no credibility.

You are right...

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

FYI, a very simple "Google Search" comes up with the transcript of the SOU address of 1/29/2003. Above is the line.

Since the POTUS is regularly on the phone with PM Blair, I am certain that this bit of news was passed along LONG BEFORE any documents flowed to the CIA.

Typical demonrat "Tempest in a Pee-Pot"!!!
