Sept. 7 Seeking to build a case Saturday that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was developing weapons of mass destruction, President Bush cited a satellite photograph and a report by the U.N. atomic energy agency as evidence of Iraqs impending rearmament. But in response to a report by NBC News, a senior administration official acknowledged Saturday night that the U.N. report drew no such conclusion, and a spokesman for the U.N. agency said the photograph had been misinterpreted.

Gosh, I guess this is true...after all, NBC and MSNBC are never wrong. And they have no political agenda whatsoever, right?

, a senior administration officialacknowledged Saturday night that theU.N. report drew no such conclusion,Incredible. The implication is the
president lied to build justification
for a pre-emptive attack on Iraq,
and the Bushbots attack the
networks. I thought only
Clintooniacs checked their
brains at the door, but I
know better now. Thanks.

Contrary to Bushs claim, however, the 1998 IAEA report did not say that Iraq was six months away from developing nuclear capability, NBC News Robert Windrem reported Saturday. Instead, Windrem reported, the Vienna, Austria-based agency said in 1998 that Iraq had been six to 24 months away from such capability before the 1991 Persian Gulf War and the U.N.-monitored weapons inspections that followed. The war and the inspections destroyed much of Iraqs nuclear infrastructure and required Iraq to turn over its highly enriched uranium and plutonium, Windrem reported.
Wow, that is a huge "mistake". He is never going to make a case against Iraq by "misstating" the facts.

Thank you. I was beginning to think that I was the only one who saw it that way.

We should probably circle our wagons.
The Iraq=WTC Indians outnumber us mightily.

I'm not against invading and overthrowing Hussein,
if he is responsible for the WTC attacks. If he is
not, then we should be invading Saudi Arabia. To
do otherwise is to give an already metastasized
executive branch leeway to go to war on its own,
Constitution be damned, from here on out. Get some
evidence before attacking Iraq.

Bush needs to make the case, he hasn't.
