WASHINGTON, July 11.— The CIA and the U.S. and British governments are embroiled in contradictions over lies concerning the aggression against Iraq and are now publicly disputing the issue.
According to the CIA today, it had serious doubts over a British report affirming that Iraq was attempting to obtain uranium in Niger for a nuclear program.
The famed secret British report was taken from a student thesis written 10 years previously, and the British government similarly adopted it to justify the aggression.
Bush also assured that Baghdad was attempting to manufacture nuclear weapons, but prior to that, the intelligence agency revealed that it had warned Washington that there was no nuclear program.
According to the DPA agency, Condoleezza Rice, U.S. security advisor, today assured that if the chief of the CIA had expressly asked the White House to eliminate the passage in Bush’s speech referring to Baghdad purchasing uranium from Niger, they would have followed its advice.
Friday’s edition of The Washington Post quotes a secret service expert in the Bush administration who claims that it was recommended not to use that material.
London insisted on the veracity of its report and Bush did likewise.
For its part, ANSA reported that Howard Dean, the former governor of Vermont and one of the Democrat candidates for the 2004 presidential elections, has called for the resignation of all U.S. government members who contributed to concealing the falsity of claims concerning the purchase of uranium attributed to Iraq.
WESLEY CLARK SPEAKS OUT
WASHINGTON, July 11.— Retired general Wesley Clark, former NATO commander in chief in Europe, who is considering running as the Democratic presidential candidate in the 2004 elections, informed Newsweek that the world expects something more from a U.S. president than to strut about the deck of a aircraft carrier in pilot’s uniform. He should be a great leader and instead he is a little charlatan.
Clark has done nothing concrete to date other than to launch extremely harsh attacks on the president, George W. Bush, while his followers have opened an Internet website to collect funds.
According to his statements, he intends to change foreign policy and promote an agenda to the taste of moderate Republicans and Democrats.
