"The starting point was Bush's claim in his State of the Union address in January 2003 that Saddam Hussein had tried to acquire uranium ****from the African nation of Niger***** as part of an effort to develop weapons of mass destruction. "
Bush did not say Niger. He said from Africa which could be any of several countries.

Which intelligence was he referring to if not the Niger doc?
I'd love to be able to offer this as an alternative angle, but only if it stands up. If there's no other uranium acquisition intelligence other than the Niger stuff, then this dog won't hunt.
