Anybody have the quote from the Bush sotu about wmd's?

There were so many lies in that speech to the nation.

But the media (when forced 6 months later) focused almost entirely on the '16 words' which is the only part that the media will -almost- admit that Bush lied.

I cant find any of the quotes, let alone the 16 words quote.

Maybe I'm putting the wrong search words into google... if anyone can help out it would be much appreciated.

Best
Kelley

3. No, this is from 2003 before they admitted the wmd lie

Thanks for the link to the latest lie fest.

This is from the '03 Bush sotu before the attack, when Bush was scaring the shit out of America, talking about 30,000 gallons of poison gas, anthrax, nuclear clouds... they are going to attack, blah blah.

The one lie the US media will admit to is the '16 words' about nuclear weapons.

The guy who came forward with proof of that lie ... George Bush and the White House tried to get his wife killed.

7. No problemo, thanks for the help

It'll be good to keep tonights Bush sotu

The 03 Bush speech cost us about 300 billion (and counting) and about 1500 US lives

The 05 Bush plan will not cost as much in blood, but will cost us at least $2 trillion in the initial fee for the fleecing of SS

Thanks again for posting the latest snake oil scam.

2. The "16 words" from the 2003 SOTU were:
"The British Government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."

How Bush lies: The Techniques of Deceit

So far, I have tallied 14 techniques. But there are more to be uncovered, and there are far more examples than I can include here. Consider this the tip of a deceitful iceberg.

In the paragraphs that follow I first will describe the technique of deceit. Then I will illustrate it with one or more quotations or propaganda themes, placing within brackets that portion of the quote that illustrates the technique. Then I will explain how the president applied the technique. Unless otherwise noted, the president's words are from the State of the Union (2003) address:
