the news from bush's speech

[Michael Cardenas]

How about this news?

Last night in the State of the Union address, Bush repeated the lie
that Iraq is creating nuclear weapons, stating the evidence of the
aluminum tubes purchased, which he claimed were used to enrich
uranium.

These remarks were made despite the fact, discussed here:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A57632-2003Jan28.html

that the International Atomic Energy Agency's report on Monday stated
clearly that the tubes "cannot be used directly for [uranium]
enrichment."

So, Bush is either illiterate or just flat out lying, once again.
