How many here think this whole uranium, 16-word "story" will still be with us in August?

I think it's already subsiding. They are branching off from the original allegations, trying to broaden it.
That is always a sign with these "Bush scandals" that they are on their way out and failed to connect the way they'd hoped.

Hilarious to hear Carl Levin saying that now our credibility in the world has been diminished.

Forgetting they were only recently shrieking that we should be bombing North Korea instead of Iraq because NK had the bomb!!!

I noticed this as well..except for a few kooks like Graham, the focus seems to be moving away from Bush in search of other scapegoats.

The idea that Bush's SOTU reference to the Niger uranium somehow makes a case that Bush mislead the country into war seems to be dying down as well.

I always considered the entire "scandal" to be absurd on it's face, a lot of hot air surrounding a very small issue that could not be sustained for long.

It is well known that Saddam had nuclear program and had purchased uranium from Niger in the past.
So whether he might or might not have tried to do so in this particular instance really means very little in the big picture. And it has almost no bearing whatsoever on the validity of the case for war.
