I just heard an odd little interview on Talk of the Nation (which will be here this evening near the very end of the show). Another document has been released which indicates that Saddam did indeed seek uranium from Nigeria. But there was little likelihood that he would successfully obtain it. And there you have the new goal posts. Sure, Bush was 100% right about Saddam seeking uranium from Nigeria, BUT....
The interviewee did mention that the seeking itself was troubling, but he didn't say why and it wasn't pursued. The interview didn't touch on Bush's whole point, which was that the seeking showed clearly that Saddam had not given up his WMD programs and was, in fact, actively pursuing nuclear weapons.
