It was one of the first signs that the intelligence used to go to war in Iraq was wrong: White House repudiation of 16 words in last year's State of the Union speech that had suggested Saddam Hussein (search) tried to buy uranium (search) in Africa. Yet even as two recent reports sharply criticized prewar intelligence, they also suggested President Bush's claim may not have been totally off-base. A British report concluded that Bush's statement and a similar one by Prime Minister Tony Blair (search) were "well-founded."

Well, as if we couldn't have guessed this would happen!, How long until we find some WMDs too? and the liberal media already say that there are none JUST BECAUSE we haven't given them enough time to LOOK.

Iraq is a HUGE country and there is lots of sand to hide missles in, it's only a matter of time!

Believe it or not, this was just on CNN Headline news a short time ago (1:30 a.m. CDT; 7-19-04). I guess they figured: "What the heck? May as well and report it; everyone else is".

Also, i should point out,

Iraq is around 500,000 square KMs (whats that in miles lol!)
And Ireland is only 10% of that!

But in Ireland they still hardly ever find the weapon caches of the IRA and the other groups, SO HOW CAN THEY EXPECT MORE IN IRAQ??

These are well hidden caches of dangerous weapons! and it will take time!

Yeah, right. Expect retractions and apologies all around the liberal world. Right after I win the Power Ball.

But what good is the story if the main-stream news outlets will not report it?

Sorry, Jim. I was posting at almost the same time you excerpted the original. I saw it was from AP and thought it was OK to post the full article. Please delete my post.

The Fox News website just reposted the AP story or the other way around?

The big question I have is how much time does it take to load up the nuclear material and other WMDs on trucks and send them to Syria. Was anyone watching the boarder crossings while the Bush Administration was going the diplomacy route before the war?

Syria seems awfully quiet these days.

So how do y'all think the New York Times will cover this?

A. Front Page Story with positive headline ("Bush is proven right")

B. Front Page Story with negative headline ("Struggling Bush gets backed up by flawed intelligence sources")

C. Tiny story buried deep in the newspaper

D. In a story cataloging all the "lies" that Bush told, with this as an example of the small number of accurate claims.

E. No coverage at all

My guess would be either choice C or D. What do y'all expect to see?

They reported it in the dead of night,in the USA.Not many will hear about it and when asked "WHY DIDN'T YOU TALK ABOUT THIS",they can honestly say that they did;unfortunately.

It looks like Fox reposted the AP story, since it's on the Fox web site but credited to AP.
