Bush swallows Yellowcake - How the CIA men got their revenge

This is from popbitch.com's weekly gossip column -- normally they do celebrity gossip, but this one had a political item.

George Bush's government were so desperate to
justify war against Iraq that they
bypassed the CIA and gathered their own
dubious evidence.

One of their best bits of "proof", as
presented by Bush in his State Of The Union
address, was a set of documents that showed Iraq
was buying Yellowcake Uranium in Africa, to make
a radioactive "dirty" bomb.

The documents were childish forgeries, and it
now seems that the culprits were the CIA
themselves. Having been criticised by Bush's
people for not finding enough anti-Iraq
evidence, the CIA spooks planted the obvious
fakes to prove that the men currently running
America are utter morons.

Forged obvious fakes to prove they were morons, but to make triply sure they got to prove the Bushistas were morons, documented that they told them half a dozen times that they were forgeries, proving that they can't read or understand written or spoken English? What a load of DU.

Bush wanted evidence to go to war.
CIA didn't have any.
CIA created phoney evidence.
Phoney evidence was good enough for Bush.
Bush went to war...
Oops, No, he didn't, He sent someone else's family members to war.

none at all.
