He was referring to a document originally obtained from Italian intelligence, which purported that Hussein had purchased a grade of enriched uranium commonly referred to as &#8220;yellow cake&#8221; from the African nation of Niger. Former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, had traveled to Africa, and had warned the CIA that the document was a forgery. The CIA told the state department, and they told the White House. It was obvious that the claim simply did not belong in the State of the Union speech. Everyone under the sun but Bush himself was eventually blamed for the gaffe by White House spokesman, and media pundits. The source of the President&#8217;s claim in his State of the Union Address has now been positively identified, according to White House aide Jeffery Mathers. It was not the Niger document from Italy at all, but a photograph. <a href=\"http:\/\/impeachforpeace.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/03\/niger.htm\">(Read More)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[*REDDIT automatically resets this impeachment article to zero when you vote &#8211; try it] When President Bush said the sixteen infamous words, &#8220;The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa&#8221;, people were terrified, and most supported going to war.
