Right. This isn't hard to understand - Congress was briefed on September 24, 2002 by Tenet regarding the uranium claim, which at that point was not yet proven a forgery. We're on the same page there.

The documents used to brief Congress, after which it voted to authorize Bush to use force, were still false. The question is, did the Bush administration know this when Congress was briefed?

I say, yes.

"CIA Director George J. Tenet told White House advisers in October not to include in the speech an allegation that Iraq offered to buy uranium from Niger, the Post said, citing unidentified administration officials. Tenet told them the information came from a single source, the newspaper reported."

And of course the British is standing by their claims. To do otherwise is political suicide. If they do indeed have further proof, they need to reveal it. Until then, I don't buy it merely on their word.

On what do you base that?

I have quoted Tenet himself in my #264: #264:

In the fall of 2002, my deputy and I briefed hundreds of members of Congress on Iraq. We did not brief the uranium acquisition story.

Is there any reason that you didn't just join (or have continued to refrain from joining) one of the existing threads on this topic?

This one is in the sidebar under "Breaking News" so it should have been visible.

Have you had much luck at slaying fascists? They are nasty sorts but relatively scarce in the world right now.

Hello...are you still there? I noticed that you haven't posted since 1:25am and haven't answered any of the threads that have called you on "your lies." Game, set, match?

Please post the name of your intelligence gathering organization that is SO MUCH BETTER than the British. I haven't seen your inside information that PROVES that only Conservatives lie. Again, the name of your organization.
