FWIW – Wilson is going to be on the NewsHour with someone from the Intel Committee tomorrow – should be interesting….

Following all this discussion, I just feel the need to keep a few little facts in mind. Irresepctive of the extent to which Wilson may have lied, it seems pretty clearly to be the case that:

Iraq was not purchasing yellowcake

Iraq did not have a nuclear program capable of doing anything with yellowcake

Iraq was not producing nuclear weapons that could be passed to al-Q

Iraq therefore, did not pose either an imminent or a gathering threat, on this issue, that necessitated going to war

And so I certainly still feel that Bush’s SOTU – using the yellowcake issue as part of an argument for war – was deeply deceptive.
