Dana Milbank and Walter Pincus of The Washington Post on Bush Aides Disclose Warnings From CIA – Oct. Memos Raised Doubts on Iraq Bid:
The CIA sent two memos to the White House in October voicing strong doubts about a claim President Bush made three months later in the State of the Union address that Iraq was trying to buy nuclear material in Africa, White House officials said yesterday.
Oh, those memos. The ones that neo-cons and some Administration apologist 'libertarians' have been downplaying recently. Lies are lies guys. Your idol is busted. People are dead. Quit pretending that's okay, unless you're ready to put your own ass in uniform and on the line.
The officials made the disclosure hours after they were alerted by the CIA to the existence of a memo sent to Bush's deputy national security adviser, Stephen J. Hadley, on Oct. 6. The White House said Bush's chief speechwriter, Michael Gerson, on Friday night discovered another memo from the CIA, dated Oct. 5, also expressing doubts about the Africa claims.
Yeah, Gerson 'discovered' it. Right after he was told to do so. Sooner or later the Administration is going to have to come clean about their lies. As I said before, people are dead.
And the apologists are shameful cowards.
