A Pentagon committee led by Paul Wolfowitz, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, advised President Bush to include a reference in his January State of the Union address about Iraq trying to purchase 500 tons of uranium from Niger to bolster the case for war in Iraq, despite the fact that the CIA warned Wolfowitz's committee that the information was unreliable, according to a CIA intelligence official and four members of the Senate's intelligence committee who have been investigating the issue.

Surprise? Bush, Tenet Caught Lying About Lying On Uranium Claim
Less than 2 days after George Bush and George Tenet claimed Iraq's alleged attempts to buy uranium from Niger was a CIA mistake, it is now revealed the President WAS warned about the fallacy of the statement--3 months earlier, in October. Having already lied to the nation, Bush's CIA chief lied to cover for the President. Having lied about Saddam's WMD to intimidate and coerce the public and congress to get his oil war in Iraq, Bush has committed a terrorist violation of the Patriot Act. The country awaits Bush's impeachment, and subsequent trip to Guantanamo.
