What is so hard to understand about pointing fingers at Clinton doesn't 
excuse Bush?

Bush made his State of the Union address (January 29, 2003) fully aware that 
his own State Department described the claims that Iraq was seeking uranium 
from Africa as "highly dubious" and that on January 9, 2002, Hans Blix 
stated there was no "smoking gun" (WMDs).

The White House has admitted that it was wrong to include that claim in his 
SOU address.  They knew the claims were based on forgeries.  The CIA removed 
their part from his SOU address and the State Department removed the claims 
from his SOU address. HE put them back in!

The intelligence reports stated that "Iraq does not yet have a nuclear 
weapon or sufficient material to make one."

The INR stated that "the calims of Iraqi pursuit of natural uranium in 
Africa are, in INR's assessment, highly dubious."

That means he lied.  He choose to disregard what the CIA, Hans Blix and his 
own State Department told him.  On July 13, 2004, he even went so far as to 
say it didn't matter because even thought they didn't have any WMD, they 
could have made them.

Following that logic, everyone has WMD!

The CIA voiced doubts about the intelligence from the Brits AND had cut 
using that info from the speech, as had the State Department.  BUSH put it 
back in.  THAT makes it a lie!
