a. It is accepted by all parties that Iraqi officials visited Niger in 1999.
b. The British government had intelligence from several different sources indicating that this visit was for the purpose of acquiring uranium. Since uranium constitutes almost three-quarters of Niger's exports, the intelligence was credible.
c. The evidence was not conclusive that Iraq actually purchased, as opposed to having sought, uranium, and the British government did not claim this.
I know Mr. Parados can't read well and I am starting to worry about Mr. Kuvasz.
I'LL SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU KINDERGARTEN STYLE, MR. PARADOS.
The nice mans in the Butler Place wrote- that the Iraqi bad mans really and truly looked for the icky stuff--Uranium.
Stinky Britches, are you a complete fukking mongoloid idiot? You are casting the Butler Report as if it is the Ten Commandments delivered on Mt. Sinai and that there are no other documents from that government that refute the conclusions of it. Other British documents written earlier, before any political pressure was placed on the Parliment showed that the Butler report ignored evidence. The Butler Report has been examined against an earlier one, the Taylor Report that admitted what the Butler report did not, vcz., that the evidence the Brits used (and Bush cited) to conclude that Iraq was seeking uranimum was false.
You don't even know, or worse, willfully deny that the Butler Report was contradicted by earlier reports that admitted that the British Government used unreliable evidence to support the uranium claims.
That you would stoop so low as to lie once again and cast the details of my earlier post on this as coming from the Leftcoast.com is hilarious and completely wrong. What are you, blind or just stupid? Had you taken the time to read and think instead of open your ignorant mouth you would have seen that the citation was from Josh Marshall's website and I linked to it. Didn't you know that?
If you dismiss facts because of where they reside you are an ignorant man. Any adult with a lick of intellectual integrity would be ashamed to post the nonsense you do. You don't seek the truth, all you do is grasp for any convenient factoid to support you untenable positions. And you call such antics your way of attaining a "State of Grace?" Attaining a state of sheer lunacy would be a better description.
All you had to do was go to the links and read the background story on the Butler report and unfolded right before your eyes was the real deal on it, and why it glossed over and misrepresented the earlier work of the Taylor report. The Leftcoast.com articles run several pages of detailed analysis with links to prove their positions but too dense obvious for you to understand. You ought to be ashamed to criticize work you have not read simply because you don't like the name of the web site.
That is the typical ploy of one who has something to hide, and in this case it is the the truth you wish to hide, unfortunately, from yourself this time.
That I respect the site and those who post on it and do not spam it as you do almost each day with your posts prevents me from posting each page, paragraph, and sentence that refutes your bizarre opinions that a deluded mind like yours thinks are objective facts.
