2001
The Italian government's intelligence agency obtains documents that appear to show that Iraqi officials attempted to buy yellowcake, a substance that can be enriched to produce weapons-grade uranium, from the African nation Niger. The evidence is shared with British and U.S. intelligence.


2002
February: The CIA, in response to concerns raised by Vice President Cheney's office, looks into British reports that Iraq tried to buy uranium from Africa. CIA officials dispatch ex-diplomat Joseph Wilson to Niger to investigate.

March: After an eight-day trip to Africa, Wilson reports to the CIA that he believes the allegations are "bogus." The agency sends a March 9 memo to the White House summarizing Wilson's findings.


Oct. 10-11: Both the House and the Senate pass resolutions authorizing the use of force against Iraq. Many members of Congress mention the specter of an Iraqi nuclear threat as a reason; several Senators cite as especially persuasive the British intelligence report claiming Iraq sought uranium from Africa.

1. Now, let us ask the logical question

Did the Senate get this report about Wilson's findings or was it withheld from them. If they didn't see it, then the whole "saw the same intelligence as me" line was nothing but smoke and mirrors too. It could explain why so many voted for the resolution. They were duped by the fixed intel too.

Oh, the sin of ommission might be the thing to bite them in the butt publicly and put an end to the "moral high road" they have claimed to be on for so long. It appears that they have taken all of us on a long journey through one of Escher's illusions.

3. "Congress saw the same intelligence I did"

said by Bush.

I've already figured out that means that Bush shared with Congress fact A: Iraq has WMD
He just didn't share
fact B: info by drunken, psychotic nutcase named "Curveball" or
fact C: several other sources say Iraq does not have WMD.

See? Bush didn't lie!:sarcasm:
