When Did Democrats Start Calling Bush A Liar?

I remember the aftermath of that “apology” and for that reason, I believe the President will not, and should not, be apologizing for the failure to find significant quantities of WMD in Iraq. After Joe Wilson wrote his op/ed piece declaring the uranium story false, the President said he regretted it was included in the SOTU. The Democrats, like sharks in a sea of red, declared that Bush had admitted he lied. That was all it took. From that point on, the “Bush lied” mantra was repeated daily, and when WMD was not found in significant quantities in Iraq, the volume of those chanting it grew deafening.

When I saw this story headlined “Intelligence backs claim Iraq tried to buy uranium” linked to today at Betsy’s Page, I couldn’t help but wonder whether there will ever be enough stories like this one to convince the Democrats, and all they have fooled, that Bush wasn’t “lying”.

Illicit sales of uranium from Niger were being negotiated with five states including Iraq at least three years before the US-led invasion, senior European intelligence officials have told the Financial Times.

Intelligence officers learned between 1999 and 2001 that uranium smugglers planned to sell illicitly mined Nigerien uranium ore, or refined ore called yellow cake, to Iran, Libya, China, North Korea and Iraq.
