Bush Was Told Before 2003 SOTU That Saddam Was Not An Imminent Threat To US
by Steve Soto
Murray Waas of the National Journal reports today (http://hotstory.nationaljournal.com/articles/0302nj1.htm) that Bush and Cheney were specifically told in advance of the war that:
1. The aluminum tubes/nuclear program claim was suspect;
2. It was unlikely Saddam would attack the US directly or through Al Qaeda;
Who told Bush these things? The intelligence community, and specifically George Tenet in person told Bush these things.
