Regarding President Bush and Joe Wilson. The 16 words did not say that we have evidence that Iraq bought yellowcake. It said according to British intel they were attempting to purchase so we don’t have to prove that he bought it , only that he was trying to buy it.Yoe have accused president Bush of being deceptive, Answer these questions. Did British intel say that they had evidence that iraq was trying to purchase yellowcake. If Bush made up the story of British intel then you have a point. But it is a fact that british intel did make that claim.You also have to deal with the fact 2 independent panels, one British, one American have both concluded that the Iraq Niger yelowcake were plausable. Both of them. So the Bush lied story is crap. British intel did make that claim, and 2 independent panels back them up. If you are going to claim that the 16 words are false you have to prove that there was no British intel report and that it did not make that claim. As far as a cause for war Bush made it clear that this was a “preemptive war”. Preemptive-”marked by the seizing of the initiative, initiated by oneself”. Or in other words Bush wasn’t going to wait till he had causus belli. He found that after 9-11 to wait until a group of madmen attack you is stupid so he got rid of Saddam before he could do anything to the US. Saddam record of invading Iran, invading Iraq, using WMD on his own people, paying terrorist in palestine $25,000 a family to use their children as nail bombs,trying to assasinate a former president of our country was reason enough to get rid of him. All Bush did was carry out the 1998 regime change wish of the congress. Oh, and there is the 7 million Iraqi’s thatwere killed during Saddam’s regime according to the national geographic. Bu7sh never claimed that there was a “imminent” threat so quit saying he did you are lying.

As far as Wilson goes, he claimed his wife had nothing to do with his getting the job. Please explain what his wifes memo recommending him for the job was. He said he knew that the VP got his report. The commision said no and Wilson has offered no proof otherwise.And how do you explain his TV talk about the forgeries.The government did not have them for 8 months and Wilson did not see them at the time of his report. Wilson’s claims said he did.
