May be a little dated, but considering the season...

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board has concluded that his 2003 State of the Union address included information about Iraq's weapons program that wasn't checked carefully, a source involved in the investigation and findings said Wednesday.

CIA Director George Tenet took responsibility this summer for allowing the information to make it into the presidential address, but the new report suggests the White House bears responsibility too.

...
The source said the report concludes there was no intention to deceive; instead it was "a goof" as the administration searched for examples to share with the public of why the United States believed Iraq was attempting to build a nuclear program.



"Awww, it was just "a goof", come on World, so we started a war... big deal, it coulda happened to anyone."

I really hate everything about this admin and their supporters....

1. They mispelled "BIG FUCKING LIE"....

Sorry. Pisses me off.

2. Yes, they did. Good catch.

3. Rush rants "White House Interns Blow it Again"

Isn't this part of the problem?

Dumbya is such a moron that he doesn't read newpapers or write his own speeches or teleprompter copy. There's not one person on the face of the Earth that would step in front of tens of millions of people with a speech they had not proofread themselves.

Last time I checked, if there's a error/typo in a legal contact, and the contract is signed by both parties, TOUGH. It's enforcable.

I have no doubt Dumbya never looked at his speech before he walked out in front of the cameras.


That's not where THAT error came from, though. Every word of the 2003 SotU was written by Karl Rove.
