Slave has inspired me to post. I wonder why Bush doesn't cite the Niger uranium as support?

Link to article on Pres. Bush's speech yesterday defending the decision to invade Iraq. His remaining justification -- the John Wayne approach to foreign affairs (i.e. "His ass needed kicking."):
"Although we have not found stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction, we were right to go into Iraq," Bush said during a brief visit to east Tennessee.

"We are defending the peace by taking the fight to the enemy," Bush said in a subtle reformulation of the idea of "preemption" that has been a centerpiece of his foreign policy since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. "We have followed this strategy -- defending the peace, protecting the peace and extending the peace -- for nearly three years. We have been focused and patient, firm and consistent."

Bush acknowledged what he called "some shortcomings" cited in the Senate report, but added: "Our intelligence sources do an essential job for America."
Yeaaah, That's the ticket! That's exactly what my Giiirllfrieend, CINDY CRAWFORD told me yesterday.
