How do we thank Bush for saving us from a "mushroom cloud", resulting from uranium that didn't exist?

Question

CIA doubts

In early October 2002, George Tenet called Deputy National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley to ask him to remove reference to the Niger uranium from a speech Bush was to give in Cincinnati on October 7. This was followed up by a memo asking Hadley to remove another, similar line. Another memo was sent to the White House expressing the CIA's view that the Niger claims were false; this memo was given to both Hadley and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice.

Answer 1

IMPEACH HIM.

Answer 2

That statement that Tenant wanted removed stated that British intelligence suspected Sadaam was trying to get uranium from Niger, and British intelligence STILL STANDS BY THE STATEMENT.
The Defense Intelligence Agency thought the same:
On February 12, 2002, the Defense Intelligence Agency released — inside the government, not publicly — a report covering the Africa uranium issue; its title said that Niger had “signed an agreement to sell 500 tons of uranium a year to Baghdad.”

according to a source familiar with the committee’s investigation, the CIA did not include the document in the materials it turned over to the committee.

Answer 3

And all references to uranium from Niger were removed after that single speech.

And of course, we now know from the Senate Select Committee on Pre War Intelligence,

That Joe Wilson, actually told the CIA, that Iraq had tried to buy uranium from Niger several times.

And we still have the British Intelligence report that said that Iraq had attempted to purchase uranium from Africa,

An intelligence report that has since been validated by British Parliamentary investigative committees as an accurate report.

Not even mentioning the fact that over 500,000 Tons of uranium Yellow Cake were found at the Tuwaitha Nuclear Research Facility near Baghdad in April 2003.

Answer 4

By being so grateful that we tell him he does not need to Bomb Iran's nuclear facilities because it would cause radiation to spread and they have no nuclear weapons to cause mushroom clouds either.

It seems the South Korean government did a study of what would happen if the US were to use the same sort of "surgical strikes" against North Korea's nuclear facilities. They found:

"According to a 2005 study by the South Korean government, the use of US nuclear weapons in a `surgical' strike against North Korea's nuclear facilities would, in the worst-case, make the whole of Korea uninhabitable for a decade. If things worked out somewhat better, it would only kill 80 per cent of those living within a 10-15km radius in the first two months, and would spread radiation over a mere 1,400km, thereby engulfing Seoul."

Answer 5

OK, so that whole "(yellow) cake" thing didn't work much better for Bush than it did for Marie Antoinette... but we did take our own depleted uranium over there to use... does that count? As for the "mushroom cloud" thing... that was last used in political ads about 40 years ago, it's time had come (again)... bell-bottom jeans made a comeback too, right?


Forgot the reward... how about a nice, big (yellow) cake decorated with (hallucinogenic) mushrooms and topped off with (WMD) candles? :-)

Answer 6

Sounds to me like the CIA was just doing it's job in presenting or correcting intelligence to elected leaders regardless of the politics.

You could write him a letter? Or better yet, write the CIA a thank-you.

And for a reality check: It was the UN weapons inspectors that catalogued thousands of pounds of weaponized nerve agents - not the US president. Or is it the theory that the UN is a part of the conspiracy now?

And here is a challenge for you: Try to not use the internet or internet videos to support your position or beliefs. There are REAL issues to deal with in the world. There is a reason that academic/scientific people (or anyone that wants to be taken seriously) don't cite things on the the internet as a valid source.

Send him to Crawford immediately for a much-needed vacation that lasts until January 20, 2009. There's a lot of brush that needs clearing!

Answer 9

By asking your Congressman to support HR333 Articles of Impeachment for Richard Cheney. The bill is gaining co-sponsors albeit slowly. I emailed my Congressman in the Spring and recieved one of the fastest replies ever (6 hours) that he was already a co-sponsor.

Answer 10

I believe Bush should have been thanked appropriately long ago. The fact is that it didn’t matter whether Iraq actually had any WMDs or else Bush would have let the UN inspectors finish their inspections, which they begged to do.

Bush was determined to invade Iraq in order to gain control of the Iraqi oil and to establish permanent bases. He and his administration had to scare most Americans, and Congress, into supporting his actions and “mushroom clouds” were appropriately scary.
