Well, duh.

From the headline writers that brought us "Cigarette Smoking could be Damaging to your Health" and "Lack of Excercise Possibly Causes Weight Gain" comes the shocking "Iraq Nuke Evidence Was Thin, Experts Say".

The public case that Iraq was pursuing nuclear weapons was built primarily on several suspicious items Iraq reportedly tried to import, such as uranium, aluminum tubes and precision machinery. But the uranium story is now in dispute, and many of the other items had possible uses unrelated to nuclear weapons.

Other information was either lacking, or suggested that no nuclear program was in the works, said the former intelligence officials, who analyzed Iraq's weapons during the run-up to the war.


I'm glad that stories like this are eventually popping up in the media, however weakly phrased they are. But it's taken way, way too long for it to happen. Hopefully some outrage will pierce the thick hide of complacency the American public has wrapped around themselves, and some of us will drag our behinds to the polls next year and vote this group of liars out of the White House!
