That statement says, in no uncertian terms, that the Bush administration is hoping that this stops with Tenet.

I don't see that happening. The media smells blood.

It has no legs. The media can think what they want. It's their ratings.

Unfortunately, we all know just how powerful the media is in this country.

I don't know, I just don't see how this incident is going to "work" for the democrats. It's too weak. I mean, of course, Bush is responsible for his statements but there is no evidence that it was anything but an innocent mistake. Every one makes them.

It's really much ado about nothing and a very laughable attempt by politically craven dems to discredit Bush. They have no issues so they are reduced to manufacturing scandals. I am afraid the dems are on their way out if this is the best they can do. The Republicans already have both houses and the presidency, they seem intent on handing them everything.

The fact is that Bush didn't lie and anyone can see that. Just because he unwittingly reported inaccurate information does not negatively reflect on him.

I think the dems need to concentrate more on finding some REAL issues other than scandal mongering Republicans. I mean, the "republicans are big meanies" is hardly a party platform.

Another thing that really stands out in my mind is that the very people who told us that "all presidents lie" and "everybody does it" are the same ones who are trying to use this innocent mistake [if you can even call it that] to bring down Bush. These are the people who support PERJURY. They support sexual predators in the workplace. We all know they are not in any moral position to judge ANYONE. Its about like Charles Manson self righteously lecturing about the evils of murder.

As I see it......since the original statement relied on British intelligence and could not be confirmed by our own intelligence (Blair refused to give us their sources) it was logical for the President to stop referring to the uranium purchases from Africa.

This is about as important as the panty wetting over the aircraft landing and the BRING EM ON......comment.

If the dems and their America hating cohorts in the media want to have hysterics, I say let them. We need only to go out, speak the simple truth and move on........
