a prediction of a headline" Bush Outraged At Wrong Info on WMD"
Im pretty sure that with the white house saying the uraninum for weapons of mass destruction story was false, that by sometime early next week if this story goes anywere the headlines and page 2 will read something like below. Dont bash me but I think its fun to predict what will happen and you can pretty much tell it will go like this, Until we keep shouting about it and the lies told by Bush. * notice how Bush will not mention being lied to or knowing and lieing, but rather there was a "mistake" read below.

"Bush outraged at wrong Info"
President Bush today has said he was outraged at the wrong information given to him about uranium from South Africa being given to Saddam, which turned out to be a false story. According to the President yesterday on the white house lawn" I am outraged at the mistakes that were made, but lets get something clear, other information that I did act on, was vital and it was true. He then continued" As President I took an oath to protect our nation against those who hate freedom, and thats what I did and will continue to do. All though mistakes were made, what I did know was true and I could not stand by while our nation was threatened, we will continue to fight this war on terror and to protect our freedoms" A new daily news poll today show that 52 percent are not concerned about this weapons story being false and still support the war and the President. While 43 percent are troubled about the latest story being false but still support the President. 3 percent no longer believe the President and 2 percent undecided

2. Not bad, but..
there's too much explaining, not enough diverting going on.

Just change the hyperbole. Bush wouldn't say he was outraged. He would come out with something like, "Look, I think all the naysayers and revisionists are missing the point. We have 150,000 brave young men and women in Iraq who are fighting for freedom" or some crap like that.

4. I understand your cynicism ....
But this is not time to cut bait .. its time to FISH with this worm ...

This dog HUNTS ! ....

Yes: ... BEFORE yesterday, they could have dodged and weaved, and did that "Rope-A-Dope" thing (HEAVY on the dope .. )...

But NOT after yesterdays EXPLOSIVE revelations from Mr. Terrence Wilkinson posted in CapitalHillBlue.com (a kind of right wing site, from what I understand ..) ..

http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_2518.shtml

-snip-

An intelligence consultant who was present at two White House briefings where the uranium report was discussed confirmed that the President was told the intelligence was questionable and that his national security advisors urged him not to include the claim in his State of the Union address.

"The report had already been discredited," said Terrance J. Wilkinson, a CIA advisor present at two White House briefings. "This point was clearly made when the President was in the room during at least two of the briefings."

Bush's response was anger, Wilkinson said.

"He said that if the current operatives working for the CIA couldn't prove the story was true, then the agency had better find some who could," Wilkinson said. "He said he knew the story was true and so would the world after American troops secured the country."

-snip-

It is QUITE clear: .... Bush KNEW all along that the Niger report was bogus, and yet he REJECTED the honest counsels of his staff, and decided to deceive the Nation ...


Got that pole ready ? ... Its time to go fishin ...

and DONT ferget that dog ......

5. Nope, too late
There's too much information out there. They can't put this genie back into the bottle. PLUS, if they came out with such a ruse, it would just further infuriate the CIA and other intel and diplomatic pros who are doing all this leaking.

I also think they're not quite that clever. For example, were they clever enough to call for or endure (fake) investigations after 9-11?
