CIA 'questioned UK uranium claim'

The CIA called into question UK claims in last September's dossier that
Saddam Hussein was buying in uranium from Africa even before the do***ent
was published, it has been confirmed.

The Foreign Office in London - which made the admission - also said that,
despite US concerns, Britain decided to go ahead and publish the claims
because they believed their intelligence to reliable.

A decision was therefore taken not to include the doubts expressed by
America.

"From the brief time that we did spend occupying Iraqi territory after the
war, I am certain that had we taken all of Iraq, we would have been like the
dinosaur in the tar pit – we would still be there, and we, not the United
Nations, would be bearing the costs of the occupation. This is a burden I am
sure the beleaguered American taxpayer would not have been happy to take
on."

– Norman Schwarzkopf, from his 1993 autobiography, "It Doesn't Take a Hero."

A hard truth appears to have escaped the notice of the public and received
scant attention from the media: Bush is the first president in American
history to use deceptive propaganda as his main means of communications in
selling his policies. His pattern of deception continues unabated and in
direct conflict with the notion of the public's informed consent that is
central to American democracy.
