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. Bush removed the forged document from the speech. This was followed up by a memo asking Hadley to remove another, similar line from the STU. 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.
In his state of the union address, Bush knowingly and willfully used a faulty document to charge a nation with attempting to buy uranium for use against the USA. He willfully ignored the CIA in order to push his own, personal agenda.

The fact is that the Iraqis under Saddam did send a trade mission to Niger for the purpose of buying uranium. This was confirmed by documents captured in Bagdad.

It's called "Foriegn Relations". You'll learn all about it in high school. For a start, look-up Mexican-American War, Spanish-American War, Lusitania, Iran-Contra. Special attention to how we aquired Panama. If you want some serious controversy, try "Ngo Dinh Diem".

When I was a kid, I had NO doubts that the American government was the greatest thing ever. I was an unflinching supporter of everything my leaders did.
Now...not so much. The corruption of our government officials doesn't surprize me at all. It's sad, but nothing an 'elected' official does shocks me. They are all crooked...I never thought I would say that, but even the 'honest' ones play into the system. They accept millions in special interest money and play with peoples lives. Forging documents seems like par for the course.

Dan Rather tried that same route, we all know how that ended. Give it a rest Chi Guy, Bush can not get re-elected focus on something else. Something factual.

Old lies retold. What's the reason? He had weapons of mass destruction. He used them, He was evil. He funded terrorism and he needed to die. Notice how hard the terrorists are trying to keep the country of Iraq under their control.
