I keep saying that what was said during the State of the Union was factually true, however misleading it may have been. But The Daily Howler argues that the famous sixteen words cannot even reach that low bar of honesty:
What did Bush say in his State of the Union? Here is the statement in question:Convincing argument. I have some rethinking to do.
BUSH: The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.
Did Saddam �seek significant quantities of uranium from Africa?� Bush didn�t say that the Brits believe this. He didn�t say that the Brits have made such a claim. Instead, Bush said that the Brits have learned that this happened�and as such, he implied that the Brits� claim was true.
