4. One Thing He's Right About is Mentioned in the Daily Howler:

In his annual address, Mr. Bush correctly noted that British intelligence believed -- as it happens, on the basis of myriad sources it deems credible (and not a forged document in U.S. possession) -- that this effort included attempts to buy uranium (search) in Africa.

Bush didn't mention the forged document in the SOTU address. He just mentioned intelligence about attempts to buy uranium in Africa. There were other sources, such as reports of Saddam sending emissaries into the rebellious areas of Western Congo. Despite the forgery, Saddam might have made these attempts.

Still doesn't prove anything. The characterization as it has come out of cherry picking, bending and hyping intelligence sources is absolutely correct. And I'm really glad the press finally did it's job on the whole. PNACers must be aghast at the change.
