A diplomat's undiplomatic truth: They lied Posted: Tuesday, July 8, 2003 Words Of Mass Deception White House Acknowledges Error in Speech The White House is acknowledging that President Bush was incorrect when he said in his State of the Union address that Iraq recently had sought significant quantities of uranium in Africa. ¥ This was a not an 'Error in Speech' it was a deliberate LIE. The CIA warned the US Government months before Bush 'warned over uranium claim' The CIA warned the US Government that claims about Iraq's nuclear ambitions were not true months before President Bush used them to make his case for war, the BBC has learned.

Bring Reality On Vice President Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz assured America before the war that Iraqis would gladly welcome U.S. troops. They assumed Iraqis would gratefully accept the Iraqi exiles the Bush team had handpicked as Saddam's replacements. They predicted a smooth transition to democracy requiring no help from individual nations or the United Nations, and little investment of American dollars, thanks to Iraqi oil riches.
