[Vision2020] "The Buck Stops Here"

[Ted Moffett]

All:

The Bush administration has cited the British and the CIA as sources for the 
lies he told the nation about Iraq's nuclear weapons program.  But he claims 
he believed what he said was the truth.

The article that the link below leads to suggests otherwise.  This article 
suggests that the information that the Niger uranium purchase was 
questionable was known, before Bush gave the speech with the false 
information, by individuals in the US government who should have been 
listened to by Bush.  So either the communications in the Bush 
administration are problematic in the extreme on such an important issue, or 
Bush and his advisers for the speech had an agenda that they wanted to make 
the Iraq uranium purchase assertion to make their case for war more 
powerful, and truth be damned!

President Truman was well known for having a sign on his deck that read "The 
buck stops here."
It appears George W. Bush needs a sign on his desk that reads "Pass the 
buck."
