BUSH & THE `16 WORDS ’ : WHAT DID HE KNOW ?

Was Unitary Executive Bush deeply involved in the drafting of the 2003 State of the Union Address that included the so called `16 words ’ - a bogus formula of words that included the assertion that Iraq was trying to acquire uranium from Africa ? ............. Read Prime Minister Cheney’s comments on Bush’s hands-on involvement in crafting State of the Union speeches - as related to Fascist Rush Limbaugh on his radio broadcast of February 1 ,2006 : "...... The thing that amazes me about the way this President goes about speeches , he puts an enourmous amount of effort into them ........... But when the President has got a major speech , like this one (The 2006 State of the Union Address) ,his second inaugural or one of his State of the Union Addresses , this is George Bush. He spends hours on them, goes through - I think this one went through 30 drafts ......." Indeed ........... 30 drafts ? ......... And we are to believe that he didn’t read the report from the State Dept warning him to back off the fictitious tale alleging purchase of yellowcake uranium by Iraq from the African country of Niger ?............ http://www.democrats.com/node/8609 Why would Bush sign off on the anti-Wilson campaign - except to quash the former ambassador’s attempts to expose Bush’s own deceptive statements made to Congress during his 2003 SOTU Address of 1/28/03 ? .......... Two weeks after the NSC and OVP decided to "Get Wilson" , Unitary Executive Bush readily signed an Executive order permitting Prime Minister Cheney to declassify top secret intelligence ......... The Unitary Executive also permitted Scooter Libby to leak portions of the October 2002 National Intelligence Estimate to Judy Miller of the New York Times - an action specifically designed to undercut Wilson’s allegations that the uranium to Niger story was a load of bullshit .......... Numerous sources ( Jason Leopold , the NYT, George Stephanopoulous , Lanny Davis ) indicate or strongly suggest that Bush was present at meetings in early to mid -June 2003, where strategies to undercut Wilson were debated and agreed upon.............
