[Vision2020] Cost of Government Day!

[Carl Westberg]

Concerning the George W. Bush version of "depends on what the meaning of the 
word is is", let me see if I've got this right.  One of the administration's 
justifications for Dubya's assertion about Iraq, Africa and uranium is that 
he was quoting British intelligence.  Even though the United States told 
these same British intelligence folks that it was probably not true months 
before the State of the Union address?  Am I right so far?  Even though our 
intelligence doubted the veracity of the allegation, since Bush was quoting 
British intelligence, the statement was justified?  Have I missed something? 
  Boy, I sure am glad we've got ourselves a Texas straight-shooter in 
office.                                                                      
                                                                             
                                                                             
                                                            Carl Westberg
