Sure to make
the talk show circuit and late night joke fests. Bunch of Bull = Texan for I am not a crook, I did not
lie. More leaks to
follow. KWC W. House:
Iraq Intelligence Uproar 'Bunch of Bull' EXCERPTS: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House on Monday dismissed as a
"bunch of bull" charges that President Bush used disputed
intelligence to justify the invasion of Iraq and said there was no need to
delve further into the matter, which Democrats want investigated. "As far as the
president's concerned, he's moved on. ... I think the bottom has been gotten
to," White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said of a disputed statement in
the president's State of the Union address that Iraq sought to buy uranium from
Africa for its alleged nuclear weapons program. "This revisionist notion that somehow
this is now the core of why we went to war, a central issue in why we went to
war, a fundamental underpinning of the president's decisions, is a bunch of
bull," Fleischer
added. 2….Fleischer dismissed
any suggestion that Bush misled the American public about the threat posed by
Iraq…."That's absolute, total nonsense. The president said something that
was based on the information that was available to date. In hindsight, we have
said that it should not have risen to the president's level and that's exactly
what we have reported to the American people," he said. But with recent polls
showing an erosion of support for the Iraqi operation, there was heavy
criticism from Democrats, some of whom hope to replace Bush in the White House
in the 2004 presidential election. "There ought to
be a thorough investigation, either by the existing committees or by a select
committee," said Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, top Armed Services Committee
Democrat. Sen. Jay Rockefeller
of West Virginia, the senior Democrat on the intelligence committee, said the
panel may call Tenet to answer questions this week. |
