He said his wife didn't get him the job and we now
know that she did.
He lied, She lied. He reported that there was no
threat of Iraq
buying, or attempting to buy yellow cake. He never
even checked.
The 9/11 bi-partison commission determined that
Wilsons report gave more credibilty to the purchase
not less.
The 9/11 report and the British Butler report confirm
there was an attempt to purchase yellowcake.

But he first said Bush did much more then Clinton ever
did to stop al Qaeda. When his book came out he said
the opposite.
Most of what he said is his book contrdicts what he's
already said on the record. He lied to sell his book.

Powell Denies what was said in Woodwards book. So it
is disputed.

That's one man, everyone else saw a threat.

Jordan's King Abdullah and Egyptian President Hosni
Mubarak personally assured Gen. Tommy Franks that Iraq
possessed weapons of mass destruction less than two
months before the U.S.'s attack.
Lt. Gen. Michael DeLong, 2nd in command of Centcom
under Franks claims:
Intel Showed Iraq Smuggled Out WMDs

Global consensus? I think you mean France Germany and
Russia?
