Are you referring to the uranium from Africa claim? The quote beginning "The British government has learned...?" If so, at best you can say that the claim is still questionable, and at worst he was telling the truth. The British government still stands by their report, and the BBC reporter (Gilligan) who broke the story that the intelligence dossier was flawed has been completely discredited and, as reported recently, "will be forced to quit." (Daily Telegraph, August 24). At best we can say the jury is still out. Being that MI6 is considered the best intelligence agency in the world, I'm inclined to believe them over a discredited BBC hack.
I really shouldn't be the one defending George W. Bush, but someone has to stem the tide of the anti-Bush angry left before the reasonable left gets swamped at the next election.
