Yellowcake

I just caught Jon Stewart on the Tonight Show. He jokingly compared the fake Killian memos to the forged documents that made Bush believe Iraq was seeking uranium in Niger and led us to war.

Bush's famous 16 words on this issue were "[t]he British Government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." It does, at present, seem quite possible that Iraq did seek this uranium. Furthermore, while there were forged Italian documents about Niger, they were not the basis for British Intelligence.

I've written and sold jokes myself, and know it's tough to come up with good stuff on a daily basis. But perhaps Stewart should retire one like this, that relies on a false premise and an ignorant audience.

I dunno... relying on ignorance is usually a safe bet.
